God never tires of forgiving us; we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.” ~ Pope Francis, Joy of the Gospel

Join John and Victor this week as they discuss the great power of the sacrament of Confession. “The whole power of the sacrament of Penance consists in restoring us to God’s grace and joining us with him in an intimate friendship” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1468).
