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.

On this week’s episode of All Good Things with Archbishop Hicks, Archbishop Ronald Hicks and Father Dave Dwyer talk about the meaning of Memorial Day, Pope Leo’s first papal encyclical on human dignity and AI, the duty of the Church to speak up about important issues, Pentecost, Archbishop Hicks’ first ordination in the Archdiocese of New York, and answer listener questions.

"The encyclical is an important contribution to the Church's continually evolving and expanding social teaching doctrine. It is truly a teaching document for our times," said Dennis Poust, executive director of NYSCC.
