  • Volviendo a la confesión
    Volviendo a la confesión
    March 13, 2023
    by Obispo Michael J. Sis
    Estamos viviendo un momento histórico de Avivamiento Eucarístico en la Iglesia Católica en los Estados Unidos. Dios está obrando en la renovación de la iglesia reavivando nuestra devoción a él a través de la Eucaristía. Cuando una persona experimenta un renacimiento de la fe, a menudo conduce a la conversión y al arrepentimiento de los caminos pecaminosos. Creo que uno de los efectos de nuestro Avivamiento Eucarístico Nacional será un aumento en el uso del sacramento de la penitencia, también conocido como confesión

    Getting back to confession
    March 13, 2023
    by Bishop Michael J. Sis
    We are living in a historic moment of Eucharistic Revival in the Catholic Church in the United States. God is at work renewing the church by rekindling our devotion to him through the Eucharist. When a person experiences a revival of faith, it often leads to conversion and repentance from sinful ways. I believe that one of the effects of our National Eucharistic Revival will be an increase in the use of the sacrament of penance, also known as confession.
