Today was the first full day of the parish mission hear at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Longview, Texas. I gave the same talk this morning and again this evening. The turnout of people has been wonderful. The talk today was on the Sacrament of Penance. It is broken into two parts. First is a little background and history of the Sacrament. The second half is a spiritual reflection on St. Peter and why we need the Sacrament. It ends with some practical tips for how get over any fears one might have about going to confession. Tomorrow we’ll talk about the Mass and the Eucharist.

I’ve attended the mission at St. Matthew’s Catholic Church in Longview. Thank you for the talk about the
Sacrament of Penance, my fear still there when it comes to confession, after listening to your talk it is a little better. May God Bless you.
