Boston, Mass., Feb 3, 2010 / 03:01 am (CNA).- Seeking to promote the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the Archdiocese of Boston has launched a new website about how to make a good confession. Its priests will also offer confessions in every chapel and church on Wednesdays during Lent. The website, www.TheLightIsOnForYou.org, describes how to prepare for confession with an examination of conscience. It also provides an act of contrition to recite before absolution.

Auxiliary Bishop of Boston Robert F. Hennessey recorded a video message on the website. In the video, he quotes Jesus as saying that Heaven rejoices more for one repentant sinner than for 99 that never needed to repent.

“Every time that someone returns to the Sacrament of Confession, Heaven celebrates. And that unbelievable experience of joy becomes ours when we are forgiven.”

It is intresting to read this because at the church I attend here in Ohio when a certain priest is hearing confession there is normally a line that goes out the door it is so long. So I guess all we have to do is clone that priest and then send the clones all over the world to hear confessions. :D:D:D

I’m sorry, but I am in a crazy mood.
