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 Good Newsroom had the opportunity to speak with Archdiocese of New York Auxiliary Bishop Gerardo Colacicco to discuss using this time of Lent to train our dedication to our faith, comparing this time to the Winter Olympics and the dedication necessary to make it to the medal podium.
