Relying on Jesus

Sometimes we go through a difficult time when nothing seems to go right.  Sins, which we thought we had pretty well conquered, come back as bad as ever.  What we must do then is go to Confession more often, for one thing is absolutely certain, it is only by God’s help that we can make any progress at all.  If we try to ‘go it alone’ we shall fail; but if we rely on Jesus and keep going to him for the forgiveness and strength that he is always waiting to give us, then we shall win through.

SUMMARY

1. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most important weapons against the Devil.  When we make a good Confession, all our sins are forgiven and we are given strength to resist temptation in the future.

2.  Getting rid of sins from the soul is like getting rid of weeds from a garden.  We must be patient, persevering, and regular in dealing with them.
