Why is Confession Important.
(6:08) What is the process of confession?
(17:00) How do priests feel about people coming to confession?

(20:14) Break 1
(21:40) Denise - Sometimes hard to confess. I feel the more I go, the easier it gets to confess the sins. Just being vulnerable and saying the sins...just feel better like a weight has been lifted. Really encourage all to go to confession. I don't want to be in mortal sin.
(35:12) Diane - I suffer from scrupulosity. 2 years ago I came back to the church after being away for 30 years. How do you determine difference between temptation and actual sin? Something in the news recently aroused me and I don't know if it was temptation or sin. It wasn't pornography.

(38:50) Break 2
(39:55) Patrick - How does Father feel about receiving communion when you are aware of a minor sin, not a major sin?
Email – What is the relationship between venial sins and confession?
(44:50) Marie - How do I clarify for a friend that confession is about confessing sins and not a counseling appointment? Also, I have some very protestant relatives and couldn't understand the value of confession. How do I answer that question?
