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 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops president emphasized the critical need for restraint and for all parties to take concrete steps to end the conflict, work for peace, and protect innocent lives.
