I was reading Scott Hahn's book, _Lord Have Mercy_ this week and he tells of a time that he questioned his confessor about why we should continue to confess the same sins over and over. His confessor replied "What, would you rather have NEW sins?!" What wisdom in those words. I wish I could find a spiritual director here, but alas, as you say, parish priests are too overwhelmed with their daily duties to be able to do this. I think this is so sad. This sacrament is so important, and yet, so hard to find direction with.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03038743473739366061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-85798280235377246222007-03-15T23:42:00.000-05:002007-03-15T23:42:00.000-05:00Confession IS wonderful!

It really is so hard to find a parish priest who will do this (I've tried!), but it seems more laypeople are being trained as spiritual directors these days.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03403300534569346474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-28105428732625396932007-03-14T21:39:00.000-05:002007-03-14T21:39:00.000-05:00How did you go about finding a spiritual director ...How did you go about finding a spiritual director down here?Celeste Createshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027463910400962094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30871656.post-58588197475485767892007-03-14T17:01:00.000-05:002007-03-14T17:01:00.000-05:00Blair, thank you so much for that beautiful reflec...Blair, thank you so much for that beautiful reflection.
