Divine Delayed Absolution

About this sermon

In centuries past, Holy Thursday marked a special moment when three Masses were offered. One, of course, was the Mass of the Last Supper which we have here this evening. The other was the Mass in which the holy oils were blessed. But then there was yet another Mass…a third Mass…in which public penitents were received back into the arms of the Church after their heavy Lenten Penances. Holy Thursday was a time of absolution…a time of reconciling sinners in a special way. The lay folk are properly upset that this Lenten time of penance followed by reconciliation has become so difficult. People on various traditional websites have resorted to bashing bishops for the decisions that they have made regarding regular confessions being available. How could they not provide easy access to confession during this crisis? We need more confession hours. What if a person was in mortal sin? Should he have to wait for days…even weeks to have access to the saving Blood of Christ in the Sacrament of Penance? And these people do make an important point. But in all this complaining, I have not heard a single person suggest that all of us…priests, religious, and laity alike…simply stay out of mortal sin. We are in a crisis here…wake up…some getting drunk on the weekend…some acting in a promiscuous fashion…stop watching impure things…stop rash judgment…stop harsh detraction and calumny…stopping missing Mass on Sunday…because the ordinary channels of the Sacraments are closing up a bit.
