Join Rebecca Brandes as she speaks about the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the Truth of the Spirit podcast during the series “Eucharist and Other Sacraments”. Dreading confession is a natural thing. Our natural instincts tell us to avoid pain but at the gym you hear “no pain no gain”. In Confession we have to humble ourselves. St. Faustina says we should derive two profits from holy Confession [the Sacrament of Reconciliation]; we come to Confession to be healed and we come to be educated. Like a small child, our soul is in constant need of education. The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes that sacramental confession is the source of spiritual healing and in paragraph In (1421) it says: “The Lord Jesus Christ, physician of our souls and bodies, who forgave the sins of the paralytic and restored him to bodily health, has willed that His Church continue in the power of the Holy Spirit, His work of healing and salvation.”
