Confession is Beautiful

Saint's reflections on the Sacrament of Penance

Saint John Mary Vianney

“The good Lord knows everything. Even before you confess, he already knows that you will sin again, yet he still forgives you. How great is the love of our God: he even forces himself to forget the future, so that he can grant us his forgiveness!”

“It is not the sinner who returns to God to beg his forgiveness, but God himself who runs after the sinner and makes him return to him”

“This good Saviour is so filled with love that he seeks us everywhere”.

“I will charge my ministers to proclaim to sinners that I am ever ready to welcome them, that my mercy is infinite”.

Saint Augustine

The confession of evil works is the first beginning of good works.
--Saint Augustine quotes (Ancient Roman Christian Theologian and Bishop of Hippo from 396 to 430. One of the Latin Fathers of the Church. 354-430)
