For the first in our series of Lenten Reflections with the bishops of the Archdiocese of New York, Bishop Edmund Whalen, Vicar for Clergy, says confession is like a hearing aid to help us hear God’s voice saying, “You’re forgiven. Try again.”

These reflections will be published each Friday during Lent.

The archbishops, old friends from Chicago, put their cities' pride on the line just hours before tip-off.
