Fr. Brian’s Blarney Confessions

It seems that I have helped out with

confessions at more neighboring parishes this

year than in the past. In some ways this is

good, because we seem to be getting a tighter

network of priests in Monroe as well as my

neighbors to the south in the Toledo Diocese.

In some ways it can be bad because it can be

very time consuming, taking me away from

the parish.

I remember being an associate running all

over creation helping out, but being

exhausted well before Christmas or Easter

Sunday. I tried to limit myself as a pastor

only helping out at a few parishes in the

Monroe Vicariate, because of that

exhaustion. It is one thing when the special

Masses can be split between a couple of

priests, but being solo, it can add up very

quickly.

Since I have been offering Mass once a

month at Mt. Carmel, it has been a good way

to meet other parishioners there or seeing

ours who go there after they get done with

work or vacation. It has been uplifting seeing

the different people coming to confession at

the different parishes, being reconciled to

God.

Most know the formula “Bless me father

for I have sinned. It has been “x” since I have

been to confession”. Though, some don’t or

they get hung up on the “x” – the time since

their last confession. Some of the penitents

get embarrassed and struggle with telling the

confessor their time away from the

Sacrament.

The time since your last confession gives

the priest an idea of where you are spiritually

as well as some practical information. The

time simply gives the priest a gage to know if

he needs to help the penitent out. If it has

been a month, you know what you are doing, so the priest won’t need to help you. If it has

been a year, you probably know what you are doing, but the priest may need to help you.

If it has been more than a year, the penitent probably has forgotten the procedure, so he

will probably need to help you out. If it has been a day, he will probably need to address

the penitent’s scrupulosity or some other issue the penitent is dealing with. So, don’t be

worried, give the priest an approximate time, so he knows if he needs to assist you with the

process or not. If it has been a while, he should simply say “welcome back”.

for healing and we are so thankful and

give Him praise.

May each of you be blessed for your

faithfulness as you continue to bless

others with your love and kindness.
