Confession

Confession

Confession of an error is like a broom that sweeps away dirt and leaves the surface cleaner than before.

A clean confession, combined with a promise never to commit the sin again, when offered before one who has the right to receive it, is the purest type of repentance.

A man who has broken with his past feels a different man. He will not feel it a shame to confess his past wrongs, for the simple reason that these wrongs do not touch him at all.

A sinner is equal to the saint in the eye of God. Both will have equal justice, and both an equal opportunity either to go forward or to go backward. Both are His children, His creation. A saint who considers himself superior ro a sinner forfeits his sainthood and becomes worse than the sinner who, unlike the proud saint, knows not what he is doing.
