Hiding Our Sins Well

About this sermon

Due to our human nature and the way God made things, sin and guilt cannot easily be hidden for long. They have a way of coming out sooner or later. Some how, some way, we will be forced to confess, if not sooner, then later at the end of time at the General Judgment. Yet, those who take advantage of the Sacrament of Confession in this life, seek to hide their sins well. In this way, their guilt is removed and they truly hide their sins well such that not even the devil can easily use these infractions of God’s law against them. “To hide them well, we must confess them well,” says St. Jean Vianney. To confess them well, we must abide by the nature of the Sacramental system Our Blessed Lord instituted. The acts of the penitent in this Sacrament are three... (i) confession of sins, (ii) sorrow for them, and (iii) making satisfaction or amending our life. A saint once said: Although those who receive the Sacraments are not saints, the saints are always taken from among those who receive them frequently.
