Confession
I just got back from the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) to ready myself for this upcoming Sunday's Sacrament of Confirmation.
I love Confession! Rather than being a burdon, as I thought it must have been before my conversion, Confession is fantastically liberating. Contrary to the assertions of many Protestants, it is explicitly biblical (see John 20: 19-23), whereas "accepting Jesus into your heart" or "as your personal Lord and Saviour" cannot be found anywhere in the Bible.
Dave Armstrong, in his blog Cor ad cor loquitur, recently provided some valuable Thoughts on Confession by Karl Adam, Karl Keating, and G.K. Chesterton.

Redeemed by Our Savior, I work out my salvation with fear and trembling in Pohang, South Korea, where I live with my wife, daughter, and son and teach English at a science and technology university. Baptized a Methodist and raised a Missouri Synod Lutheran in Buffalo, NY, I spent six years as a guest of the Anglican Communion before being received by the Grace of God into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on the Feast of Saint Andrew, my patron, anno domini 2002.
