Went to confession on Saturday. It’s always a wonderful experience, though I always feel better coming out than I do going in.
After being absolved, I always say to the priest, “Those are wonderful words to hear, Father, and thank you so much for being a priest!”
To listen to a very funny and delightful story of a boy’s first confession, this is told by my friend Batt Burns, a famous Irish storyteller on one of our pilgrimages to Ireland. You can join us there again August 3-12, 2026.
