To help the faithful observe Lent in the Diocese of Wilmington, this year’s annual Lenten Journey will focus on the theme of Reconciliation, in anticipation of Reconciliation Monday, April 11. Over the next few weeks until Easter, The Dialog will offer brief reflections designed to put readers in a thoughtful frame of mind as they think about participating in the sacrament, along with helpful resources. Follow along as you make your Lenten Journey this year.
Today’s reflection:
“Confession is an act of honesty and courage — an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God.” — Saint John Paul II, during his 1987 visit to the United States. Full text here.
