History
Saint John Vianney became a priest in 1815. He very
quickly earned a reputation for being a wonderful confessor. People said that
even the worst of sinners would immediately see the error of their ways once
John spoke with them. He heard confessions for 16 hours a day, ministering to
people who came to him from all over the world to receive the Sacrament of
Reconciliation.
Activity
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most
important sacraments that we have, and one of the greatest gifts that Jesus
gave to the Church. For most of us, going to confession once a month is a very
good way for us to become more holy. Today is Sunday, so there are no
confession times, but you can make plans for your family members who are old
enough to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation to go to confession later this
week. And don’t forget to pray for the priests in your parish who hear
confessions – they need our prayers as much as we need theirs.
