“We must look at sin in its realistic adverse effect on our whole being and our whole existence.

We must recognize and understand that because sinning can appear to become a pleasurable habit, it is basically based on a lack of respect for human dignity, human purpose, and only acts to please the enemy of God and the enemy of all mankind.

As we are instinctively afraid of physical infection, in reality moral infection is more deadly.

Committing a sin should stimulate more concern in our conscience and our moral behavior than the courage it takes to confess the sin.

When we confess our sins thoroughly and with true sorrow for offending God, and in most cases, offending in some way a fellow human being, there is an automatic feeling of relief to the mind, the body and the Soul.

Confessing our sins actually makes us think more deeply on the seriousness of our behavior, and alerts our conscience to the need for some change in our conduct, in our behavior, in our attitude, in our friends, in our weaknesses.

In confessing our sins, hopefully it will make us realize what effect indecency, selfishness, self-love, ego, had on our moral values, and the devastating effect it had on our Soul and other people’s Souls with whom we were possibly involved.”
