Why go to confession?
Confession or Penance is the act of acknowledging our offenses to God.  While this can be done privately and should be done privately on a daily basis after a daily examination of conscience; it also must be done orally to one trained and consecrated to God.  “Why,” You ask, “Is it so important to go to confession?”
Suppose a King wished to give you a gift of rare and very expensive oil, one drop of which could heal all infirmities and protect your health. But the only vessel you had available was filthy. It had accumulated all sorts of dirt and had an unbearable stench.  Would you refuse the king’s gift, because you had no other vessel to put the oil or would you try to clean it?  What if it was in such disrepair it would be virtually impossible for you to clean and repair it yourself.  You would be forced to go to one trained or dedicated to restoring old vessels in disrepair.
You see the filthy vessel is our soul, the King; Jesus Christ, the rare and precious oil that heals is the Holy Spirit.  The trained restorer of old vessels is the priest.  Because it is necessary to seek one trained in cleansing passions, it is important to choose a good confessor who understands passions.
When our souls are filled with sin they are full of filth, there is no room for the Holy Spirit to reside. It is necessary, if we wish the Holy Spirit to reside in us, to make room by cleansing the passions or weeding the garden of our soul. As a result, the Fruit of the Spirit may grow within us so that we may continue our journey of theosis (to become god-like.)
Icons
St. Alphonsus Liguori Catholic Church kindly accepted two icons that graced our church until we installed our new iconostasis from St. Gregory’s in Lakewood, Ohio. Our new icon screen includes both the Resurrection and Nativity icons. Therefore our pastor, Fr. Sid Sidor, offered our older icons to the Roman Catholic parish that we’ve been partnering with for many years. See pictures and article written by Fr. Christopher Roberts in the St. Alphonsus’ bulletin.
