Private Confession (Sacrament
of Reconciliation)
A
little known but valuable aid to prayer is to make confession
privately
to a priest. Traditionally this is done during Holy Week
in preparation for Easter but can be asked for at any time.
Where
we feel burdened by guilt it can be enormously healing
to speak honestly and openly about our failings (in strict
confidentiality) and then receive counsel and absolution.
If
you would like to make a private confession please contact
Nick or a priest from another parish if this feels easier. |
