Be Reconciled with God

Ever wonder why there is so much sin in the world?

Sadly, just two percent of Catholics go regularly to the Sacrament of Confession.  An astounding 75% never go or go less than once a year.

By contrast, Pope Saint John Paul II and Saint Teresa of Calcutta and Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati (to name a few holy men and women) went at least once a week.

I can hardly think of what else to say on this topic that makes the point any clearer than those few facts. What sort of Catholics have we become?  What sort of Catholics do we aspire to be?

"Pier Giorgio surely never crossed the sad threshold of mortal sin.  And yet he felt the need to go to Confession very often, even every morning... He was obviously convinced that, for a delicate soul, the slightest stain of venial sin could grow and become a more serious sin.  And so he felt the need to ask pardon for even the smallest outbursts of impatience or annoyance.  He aspired to a sublime intimacy with God." - Luciana Frassati

Frassati Friends, if you know someone who, for whatever reason, is not receiving the grace of this Sacrament regularly, ask Blessed Pier Giorgio to help you help that person be reconciled with God.  For their sake, do it today.
