Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession, there is a chance for mercy.
St. Isidore of Seville
There is more mercy in God… then there are sins in us.
Saint Tikhon (1724-1783)
“Our Lord himself I saw in . . . this venerable sacrament. I felt as if my chains fell, as those of St. Peter, at the touch of the divine messenger.”
St. John Bosco
“Confession is an act of honesty and courage – an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God.”
St John Paul II
“In failing to confess, Lord, I would only hide You from myself, not myself from You.”
St Augustine (354-430)
Strive always to confess your sins with a deep knowledge of your own wretchedness and with clarity and purity.
St. John of the Cross
St. Ambrose says of the two conversions that, in the Church, “there are water and tears; the water of Baptism and the tears of repentance.”
St. Ambrose (CCC 1429)
The want of proper examination, true contrition, and a firm purpose of amendment, is the cause of bad confessions, and the ruin of souls.
St. Benedict Joseph Labre
After confession, says St. Chrysostom, a crown is given to penitents.
St. John Chrysostom
