STImagine - you’re in a 30 person line for confession, what do you do??
Instead of getting frustrated or annoyed, here are 5 worthwhile steps to use that time for prayer and to prepare your heart for receiving His mercy:
1. Pray for the other penitents in line - you’re all here for the same thing! Offer prayers that their hearts are open to reviving His mercy and forgive those who need to be forgiven.
2. Express gratitude - how beautiful is it that we have so many people wanting to come to Him asking for forgiveness!! This is truly such a beautiful gift.
3. Read a spiritual book - instead of scrolling on your phone, continue to stay in a mentality of prayer. There are many short prayer books to consider, such as Jaque Philippe or many saints.
4. A deeper examination of conscious - look deeper into this past week or month to fully prepare for His mercy. It’s okay to forget in the confessional, but an intentional examination opens your heart to seeing your need for His mercy.
5. Sit in the silence- let the Lord speak to you! How often do we allow ourself to listen to Him rather than just talk to Him?
Regardless of how you spend your time in line, know the Lord is rejoicing to have you come to Him. At STA, you can experience His mercy in the confessional on:
Tuesday from 9-10am
Thursday from 6-7pm (includes adoration)*
Saturday from 2:30-3:30pm
*except Pange Lingua nights from 7-8pm
Come receive His mercy, He’s waiting for you in the confessional 🤍
