This is the Lord's Day...what gift does he want the most???.......YOU!!!!!!

Please, please people of God, may the confessional always be close to you! There you will be able to ascend to the Lord's mountain.  The miracle of reunion occurs. The priest takes God's hand and the repentant's hand, unites them together in a tight grasp- this is incredible unifying gift of Reconciliation.

The light of God's mercy surges into the soul, purifying what was weighed down by the filth of sin.  Think of sin as heavy as an enormous block of lead.  When heartfelt contrition and God's absolution meet, Gods mercy  detaches that lead block shackling the soul down.  The soul now has the opportunity to fly. If its mind is set above in God and not on the attachments of the world it will surely fly!
Going up the holy mountain refers to rising spirituality. One reason why souls don’t take flight is because even though they’ve confessed their sins, they still entertain it. (Get out of the mental prison!)  They don’t fight habits and thus behaviors don’t change.  They remain the same.

So after  confession, acknowledge the incredible gift of the miracle God had procured for you by the priceless gift of his Son's passion and death, and leave your old ways there. Spring out of that confessional box with a grace-filled lightness and a heartfelt gratitude.  You don't need to feel it just know it.  This gratitude will propel you higher. Then radiate the love in your heart lavishly to all and let God's love abound. 




⬆️Psalm 24:3-5


3 
Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord?
Who may stand in His holy place?
4 
The one who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who has not set his mind on what is false,
and who has not sworn deceitfully.
5 
He will receive blessing from the Lord,
and righteousness from the God of his salvation.
