GO TO CONFESSION - LET YOURSELF BE CONSOLED

All people are called to remember that anyone who wants to experience the consolation and tenderness of God, simply needs to go to confession.

Our Holy Father made up this imaginary conversation:

“Father, I have so many sins, I have made so many mistakes in my life.”

“Let yourself be consoled.”

“But who will console me?”

“THE LORD!’

“Where must I go? “To ask pardon. Go. Be Bold. Open the door.”

“Jesus will welcome you. Do not be afraid!”

“I am confused, I have forgotten what to say and what to do.”

Open the door— "Jesus draws near to those in need of the tenderness of God the Father!”

“The Lord always consoles us as long as we let ourselves be consoled.”

“Of course, God the Father also corrects His children, but God does that, too, with tenderness.”

Often, Pope Francis said, “People look at their own limits and sins and start thinking that there is no way God can forgive them. It is then that the voice of Our Lord is heard saying, ‘I will console you. I am close to you. God tenderly reaches us——be not afraid, God loves You!”

CONFESSIONS WILL BE HEARD AFTER EACH SUNDAY MASS TODAY AND ON THIS MONDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 19th, FROM 5:00 P.M. UNTIL 7:00 P.M.

(Msgrs. Ramacciotti and Leykam will be available.)

PLEASE COME AND OPEN YOUR HEART TO JESUS AND BE FORGIVEN AND HEALED.

CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR P.S.R. SECOND GRADE
