In this episode I talk about the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola, together with how he did his confession and penance.

89 Healing Your Soul Through Sacramental Confession
Friday Dec 02, 2022
Friday Dec 02, 2022
In this episode I discuss what is the sacrament of confession, and address some of the main objections against having to confess our sins to a man. I explain the difference between “perfect contrition” and “attrition” or “imperfect contrition”, and how the sacrament of confession changes our attrition to contrition. I present the example of St. John Vianney (the Curé d’Ars), which is a really amazing example for priests.
