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.
