Returning to Confession / Week 1
Trust Mercy
Begin by looking at Christ's mercy before looking at your sins.
Teaching
Confession is not a performance. It is a sacrament where Christ forgives and strengthens the penitent.
Scripture reference
Luke 15:20
Prayer prompt
Jesus, I trust your mercy more than my fear.
Practice
Read the parable of the prodigal son and sit quietly for five minutes.
Reflection questions
- What fear do I bring to confession?
- What would change if mercy had the first word?
