Why do we praise God? Imagine never being taught to say thank you. We would never be truly appreciative of anything we receive in life because we would simply expect it to be done.
The priest, in the introduction to the Eucharistic Prayers, says, “Let us give thanks to the Lord our God!” We respond, “It is right and just!”
We give praise because it is right to praise God’s goodness. God could easily be less merciful and still be perfectly just. The praise we give to God is partly our just duty but also keeps us mindful of His goodness and love. Let us shout out often during each day: “Lord, I thank you and I praise you!” Let us remember to do it especially when things are not going well.

WHY CONFESSION?
If God knows everything, why can’t we just tell him we’re sorry when we do something wrong? There is a big difference between God “knowing” what we did and his ACT of forgiveness.
For true reconciliation to take place, God wants us to actually say the words, that we are truly sorry, and then to hear the words, spoken by the priest, that we are forgiven. Before Jesus ascended into heaven, he gave his divine power of forgiveness to his first priests, the apostles. They, in turn, passed that power to others throughout the centuries.
Therefore, when a priest says, “I absolve you of your sins,” we must hear Jesus Himself, as the human face of God, saying those same words to us. We, as Catholics, are blessed to have this powerful sacrament in our lives.
