The “Sacrament of selfishness”
I went to Confession Saturday evening. We were over in Cleveland, GA, attending the La Leche League of Georgia Area Conference (Unicoi State Park, Helen, GA) and went to Mass at St. Paul’s. We had the time, so we decided to go to Confession also.
The Pastor, Fr. Vincent, is a fascinating guy to listen to because he is Zimbabwean and has an interesting British accent.
Anyway, when I told him it was 5 months since my last Confession, he told me I should come once a month, and that the Pope comes weekly. He said, “this is a sacrament you should come to because of greed, because of selfishness. Because you see, this sacrament allows you to get rid of the stuff that keeps you from being the person God created you to be – so it is out of a thirst to be the person God created you to be that you should come to Confession often.”
