For 4 yrs I had to go to confession every time I got drunk …so at least once a week or twice..a new Priest had been placed in our Parrish so seeing me in his Confessional line for the 3rd time since he’s been there I saw him drop to his knees at the altar & I thought “oh he’s going to Padre’ Pio me!” I could FEEL his anxiety in the confessional and when I began my confession with Bless me Father I got drunk again….” He shook when he said “No! No more you have to go to AA or treatment but you can’t keep repeating this grave sin”….I did …just celebrated 2yrs sober ✝️
Yes I heard that (offering up another penance for Priest) from Dr Taylor Marshall yrs ago! ❤️ thx for the reminder! 🙏🏼
Love the do’s and don’t! Thank you guys for sharing this with everyone. Very helpful for a lot of people.
