Unbarnacled

I made it to Confession today. I believe it's a much-overlooked Sacrament. It is good for the soul in every way. In my practice as an adult Catholic, I have found that I can go several weeks and be o.k., but if I haven't darkened the door of the confessional in a season, boy! do I feel it. That sin nature I inherited from my human nature is gravity for the soul, pulling me down to earth. To free my sanctified nature, I need to be free of those sins. Confession does just that.

A friend once told me that the incidence of mental health problems is rare for Catholics who make frequent Confessions. It's completely free [not cheap] and it's more effective than therapy. I highly recommend it.
