“When you approach the tabernacle remember that he has been waiting for you for twenty centuries.” — St. Josemaria Escriva
April 3 was Reconciliation Monday. If you had the chance to participate in the sacrament on this special day, that’s wonderful — but maybe you didn’t. Maybe you were nervous, or your schedule didn’t allow time to participate. No worries. Most, if not all, parishes in the Diocese of Wilmington have opportunities for Reconciliation during Holy Week.
For more information and to find a parish in the Diocese of Wilmington, go to www.cdow.org/about-the-diocese/mission-statistics-map/ and use the interactive map to guide you to a local parish.
“Part of the greatest preparation we can make to receive Christ’s body and blood worthily and fruitfully is to experience his forgiveness and healing in confession. … It is by going to confession that we are welcomed back into communion and rendered capable of receiving eucharistic Communion in truth.” — Dominican Father Thomas Aquinas Pickett
