The Secret Treasure

"The Sacrament of Reconciliation is so sadly misunderstood and underused in today’s world. In my life I have found solace, comfort, counsel and deep union with Christ in this treasure he left for us. The closer I get to God, the more I see how much I fall short in my ability to love as God does. In coming to God with this in Confession, the grace and strength I receive truly empowers me on a daily basis to give without counting the cost.

Although many times one receives great words of encouragement, it is the invisible--what cannot be sensed with the eyes or ears--that is the greatest gift of all. I call this sacrament ‘The Secret Treasure’ because most have no real clue as to the depths and heights of its power.

The saints who went before us knew and celebrated this sacrament often. We should imitate their example."
