April— Wholly Yours
This month was a month of firsts for our son. After we returned from a much needed vacation, he stepped into the confessional for the very first time. Let me tell you, when working with him over his confession, it is the cutest thing anyone could ask for. There is a lot of naivety and uncertainness there when doing your first examination of conscience. Yet, also so much realization of what your sins are actually costing at the same time.
Watching him walk into the confessional for the very first time brought me back to my first time after returning to the Church. Consequently, taking me back to when I was just a little bit older than him giving my very First Reconciliation to my confessor, Father Ray Urbanek. The weight that was lifted off my soul when I stepped out both those times and continue to be lifted each time I go step foot into the confessional.
