Words on the Word
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
To go to confession is a wonderful thing. Why, then, are so many people intimidated by the mere thought of it? This talk, given in a series of Retreat Saturdays proposed by the Brigittine nuns, was an attempt to explain and reassure. I’d entitled it: ‘Confession: Manual for Use with Table of Contents’. You can hear it here, though alas, only in Norwegian.
