Bishop Donal McKeown reflects on the Sacrament of Confession

“Some people today say that they talk to God themselves, and they don’t need a ‘middleman’ in the process.  However, how does God talk to us?  He has chosen to use intermediaries.  In the Old Testament, God chose prophets to speak to his  people.  Jesus gathered round him Apostles, to spread the Gospel.  The early Church very quickly had bishops, priests and deacons.  Very few people have mystical experiences where God communicates with them directly.  God uses water, oil, bread and wine in sacraments to communicate his love, his presence and his healing in our lives.  He uses human words, said by priests, to communicate his sacramental forgiveness in our lives.

“We live in the material world.  We are surrounded by what we can see and touch.  We are people who communicate with speech.  Sacraments reflect those human realities.

Beatitudes Of The Heart

Blessed are the open hearted;

They will know what love is.

Blessed are the warm-hearted;

They will radiate goodness.

Blessed are the soft hearted;

Their lives will be fruitful.

Blessed are those who set their hearts on the kingdom of God;

Everything else will be given to them.

But alas for those whose hearts are closed; They will neither be able to give nor receive. Alas for those whose hearts are cold;

They will never know the warmth of true friendship.

Alas for those whose hearts are empty;

All goods in the world will not satisfy them.
