  I started saying the Rosary everyday for almost a year now. It has changed my life. Mother Mary is so powerful. I never realized how important she is in our faith.

  For fifty years i have not been practicing as a catholic. Then one day after 50 years I went to confession and broke down. God is unbelievably forgiving and loving. I felt his graces and mercy after that. It&apos;s liberating.

  I was a fallen away Catholic who lived an immoral life when I went off to college and decades after. I had some paranormal activity going on my house due to new age stuff that caused me a lot of anxiety and torment at night. I had a priest bless my house and 80% of the paranormal activity went away. Then a week or so later I went to confession for the first time in over 25 years. When I got home from mass and entered my house an overwhelming sense of peace came over me and I started to cry. The paranormal activity was &nbsp;gone. The next day I turned my life around and became a devout Catholic. In the years I was fallen away from the faith I didn’t believe in confession. I thought I could just say I’m sorry to God and that was enough. Confession is a true gift from God.

  When I leave confession, I have tears in my eyes of gratitude for my forgiveness by God.

  A good reminder; let us pray for our priests for Holy Spirit encouragement and protection 🙏.

  my first confession was when i was 27, before i got married. i purposedly omit some of my sins because i was ashamed of it, since it was face to face. i later learned that it was an invalid confession. then when i was 30. i felt like being called to go to Confession on february but i can&apos;t because of the shame i am feeling. finally, July of the same year. i seat in front of the hallway of church&apos;s entrance not knowing that confessional was already on front of me. then i went in, unprepared. i was able to say all the sins i remembered and cried my heart out. that moment was so beautiful. i felt reborn after that. the weight was lift off my chest. now i am 32, i go to confession regularly. i want to be washed and receive God&apos;s mercy and forgiveness as i struggle to avoid committing sins against Him. ❤✝️🙏

  I was preparing for confession a number of years ago and thought, &quot;I&apos;m not confessing that to my priest. I&apos;ll wait until someday when I have a priest I do not know.&quot; I was sitting in the church waiting and a priest I never saw before walked in. I looked up toward heaven and smiled because God has quite the sense of humor.

  I recently made my first confession in over 25 years. I had been away from the Church for most of my adult life. When I returned to the Catholic faith -I was ashamed of myself and my offenses to God. &nbsp;IT took almost two years to gain the courage to go to confession. I was a crying mess, my Confessor was calm and kind. &nbsp;God forgave me and that relief, that Grace I received has made me a happier, calmer person. thank you Father Leo for your talks:)🙏

  Don’t pay attention to the comments of non-Catholics who don’t understand this sacrement. &nbsp;When I came back to the Church and went to confession, I couldn’t wait for the Eucharist! Now my life is changed. I’m at peace

  I come from a tropical country. 20 years ago I was sick and i was on treatment. I went for Confession. &nbsp;I received instant healing of that disease up to now I have never got sick of it. Confession is one ways of God&apos;s mercy to us sinners. <br>God can do anything what He Wills. Let our mouth pray together to gain Mercy from the Eternal Father. AMEN
