Confession is a Grace, given by Our Lord. It helps us become better people. Without it, I can't make changes in myself, because I keep getting in the way. I want to be the best version of myself I can be. In order to do that, I need Jesus. I need him to get rid of all the sin, "crap", I have and give me a new start. I went to confession just before Christmas. I hadn't been in a few months. I was told by the priest I need to go every month. He is right. I think it is because I went to confession that my year is starting off pretty well. I am not biting into the bait, I am working on Joy. I have made at least a little step in moving away from myself and leaning on my Lord.
Not prefect I still need to focus more on the Lord (that will be true until the day I die) and get back to daily Mass. Mass gives me all the Graces I need to stand up again when I stumble, because Christ is IN me.
