I guess this is slightly humorous, but I wanted to share.
I used to be so affraid of confession until about a year ago. now, I find myself (when I cimmit a serious sin) just dying to get to confession because of the grace I receive afterwards. so last week was the solmnenty of the immaculat conception of our Lady and if you go to confession with in a week of this mass and attend the mass, you were granted a (forgive the butchiering of the word here) plenerary indulgance. I struggle with this concept a little, but I decided that I didn’t want to miss out on it (just in case it was real) well, I needed confession anyway because I haven’t been able to go to coummunion for a couple of weeks. as the special pennance servace drew nearer, I couldn’t wate to get there! it was so wierd. I actually looked for the shortest line (for the first time in my life). it was the line for my fave priest too. so I went and when I came out, I RAN down the wheelchare ramp and flew into the pew to pray. a girlfriend commented later and said that it looked like my feet didn’t touch the ground between the confessional and the kneeler. I was just so excited, I wanted to jump up and down and turn cartwheels and I can’t wate to get to mass now to take communion!
anyone else ever feel this way? just wondering 🙂
 
Many times! When done right, there is nothing as wonderful and as therapeutic as a good confession. This is especially true when you have a really good, kind, insightful, and holy priest to guide you through it.
 
I can’t turn cartwheels because you have to be able to touch the ground to do that and after confession, nothing touches the ground! 😃
 
Yep, been there, done that!

Several years ago, I went for the first time after being away for nearly 10 years. When I finally made up my mind to go, I was so excited the night before that I could hardly sleep. I so looked forward to my meeting with Jesus. I think I floated through life for about a week after that! I wanted to tell everyone!

Sometimes I feel like I have a love/hate relationship with the sacrament. I love it. I think it’s one of the best things about being Catholic. But I procrastinate and put off going. But once I go, there’s nothing like the peace and warmth that you feel.
 
I had a really difficult tearful confession a few days ago. I didn’t feel at all like doing cartwheels that time 🙂 The inner peace, joy and calmness I felt however left me speechless.

Thank you so much Jesus for giving us this incredible sacrament.
 
Yep, in the Loop in Chicago at St. Peter’s. No tonly cartwheels, but had a pile of singles in my purse and doled them out to all the guys who beg without even asking any questions.

Many of my athletes say this about the gym! “I hate getting up and going, but once I do, I’m glad I did.” Anything that requires self-discipline and obedience can be that way. This can even apply to “relations” with your spouse! If you’re married, you probably know what I mean. “I didn’t feel like it, but wow, I’m glad I did.” lol
 
No. Even though I know I’m forgiven, I don’t feel like dancing or anything. I just head out the door to the Eucharistic Adoration.

Just chic I am, eh?
