As we prepare our hearts for Easter during this Jubilee Year of Hope, Catholics across the archdiocese are invited to experience God’s mercy in a powerful way on Reconciliation Monday, April 14.

To help us enter more deeply into this sacrament, we turn to Father Gabriel Gillen, O.P., who offers this short reflection on how to make a good Confession. Whether it’s been months or many years—Jesus is waiting to meet you with His Mercy.

Listen now to Father Gabriel as he reflects on how we can have a grace-filled Confession.

Before going to Confession, make a good Examination of Conscience.
