If you haven't already done so, the Holy Father suggests that we try and get to confession during Holy Week . . .
Pope Benedict XVI urged Catholics on Wednesday to go to confession during Holy Week, Christianity's most solemn period, when the faithful recall the last
days of Christ's life and his resurrection on Easter.
"A good confession before Easter remains an obligation that should be fully valued and gives us the opportunity to start anew," Benedict told several thousand pilgrims and tourists gathered in a sunny St. Peter's Square for his weekly public audience.
That being said, the parish I normally attend handed out a schedule for Holy Week with big bold capital letters on every day of this week saying NO CONFESSIONS. Unfortunate and disappointing.
Oh well, there are other places around . . .
