Today’s reflection:
“Each and all shall render account for even our smallest sins before the judgement seat of Christ the Lord.” ― St. Patrick, The Confession of Saint Patrick
Although more autobiography than traditional confession, the “Confessio” of St. Patrick is a fascinating first-hand account of the life of a fifth century saint. In one sense, just as Patrick is relaying the story of his life, should not confession and reconciliation be the same for us? Telling the truth of our life to the priest to become better people and connect with God? Something to think about as we approach Reconciliation Monday.
