Today’s reflection:
“In failing to confess, Lord, I would only hide You from myself, not myself from You.” —Saint Augustine
St. Augustine‘s life and writings are a fascinating connection to the early history and theology of the church. Although he was quite prolific, he perfectly captures the truth about confession and our relationship with God in the simple thought above — something to think about as we approach Reconciliation Monday.
