Need to get something off your chest? This one is for you. So, the power to forgive sin was given to the apostles. He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” We will sin, and if you hold it to yourself, it will crush you. And who is the best person for you to pour out this? To the person who has been given the power. The apostles handed down this power from the Pope to the bishops and the priests. Because the Lord knows we are weak. He is always looking out for our good. So when you go to the priest, you have a confidante who welcomes you as you are because he’s there as another Christ. He has the power to forgive. The power comes from God. Don’t be afraid to go to confession. It is a sacrament. It nurtures your spiritual life. It helps you to grow. It helps you to come nearer to God, and it’ll lead you to everlasting life.

Passing on the Faith to our Children
The Book of Psalms 78:4. “We will not hide them from their children or tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord and His mind and the wonders which He has to wrought.” This passage is actually about handing down the baton. You know, the children are our future. We have to pass on the knowledge, but we have to teach them the right…

Yearning For God
Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are…

Something New About Death
If you want to know something new about death, keep watching. You see, the concept of death was there right from the beginning. Don’t eat the forbidden fruit. If you do, you will die. And death came. So, Adam brought in the death given to him by Eve and the serpent. And the serpent does everything he can, even these days, to bring about the death of people. Adam’s disobedience ushered in death.
