January Explanation Station from Adult Faith Formation Committee
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.
Pray with the Mothers of Lu – February 10th at 5:30 pm at St. Pius X
The Mothers of Lu is the remarkable vocations story of mothers from the small Italian village of Lu who met weekly in 1881, to pray in a particular way for vocations to the priesthood and religious life to come from their own families. 323 vocations was the astonishing fruit of the Lu mothers’ prayers!
A 21st Century Mothers of Lu Prayer group is forming in our area to pray with the same specific intention of calling priests and religious from our own children. The group will make a pledge of prayer and sacrifice for this cause.
We will be having an opening Mass on February 10th at 5:30 pm at St. Pius X. To join or find out more about Mothers of Lu, please contact: andrea.vella.phillips@gmail.com.
