I had the opportunity to hear two confessions last week one from a close friend and one from a stranger. Both of these believers challenged me with their openness and humility. I had to ask myself why it had been so long since I've confessed my sins to another person. It is good to confess our sins to God and to each other. It is good to trust others with our messy lives. It is good to bless each other and walk together in repentance.

This being my first time and all, I only suggested 10 Hail Marys. Can anyone tell me if that is too light for the average confession?

Ahh, church humor...
