Welcome Godβs mercy without fear. In Reconciliation, open your heart as if before Jesus Himself.
Confessing Without Fear
We should take full advantage of the sacrament of Reconciliation, opening our hearts with great simplicity, without fear or shame, as if we were truly in front of Jesus.

An open heart welcomes salvation with humility, knowing that everything comes from Godβs mercy.
Being Humble
βAll who humble themselves will be exalted.β (Lk 14:11)
These words reflect exactly the situation of those who accept salvation from God with an open heart. They are humble and they know they cannot boast about anything because everything comes from God. This is the sentiment that fills the heart of the prodigal son who returns to the Father, or the tax collector, who was not like the Pharisee who presumes himself to be righteous. Instead, he remains at the back of the temple, beating his breast, asking God for mercy.
