0:00.0	You're listening to Catholic Sprouts, the daily podcast for January 16th, 2020. This week on the Catholic Spouts
0:28.8	podcast, we are talking about the sacrament of reconciliation. We've already talked about what
0:34.0	happens when you go to confession. We've talked about what sin is.
0:38.5	And yesterday we talked about why it's important to go to a priest to confess your sins.
0:44.3	Now today, we are going to talk about how the sacrament of reconciliation is not a sad, defeated sacrament.
0:56.0	It might feel that way.
0:58.3	It might feel like, when I go to the sacraments of reconciliation,
1:03.0	I got to think about all the bad things I've done.
1:05.7	I got to go and do the embarrassing work of telling a priest all of these things and it's so hard and
1:14.0	embarrassing. Now that is true. It's hard. It's hard to confront all of the ways that we have
1:21.4	failed God. It's hard to look at all the things that we promised to do, but we didn't do. It's hard to admit how we
1:30.9	might be selfish or focused on money. It's hard. But here is the thing, Sprouts. The sacrament
1:39.3	of reconciliation is not a sacrament of defeat. It is a sacrament of victory. Now here is what I mean. No matter what you have done,
1:52.1	no matter what it is, the worst possible thing, God is bigger than that.
2:07.2	No matter what temptation you might have given into or bad choices you might have made,
2:10.8	God is bigger than that.
2:21.7	The worst, the worst sinner can go to confession, truly sorry for their sins. And without anything else,
2:30.0	without doing any sort of amazing acts of suffering or penance, God will wipe out that sin.
2:53.0	Poof, gone. Now, when we leave confession, we might have to do some serious work about finding better friends, finding better ways to use our time, ways to avoid future sin. But that sin, those sins that were on our soul, that built that wall between us and God, gone, gone.
3:02.6	What Jesus Christ did for us when he died on the cross is bigger, stronger than any sin that we could ever commit.
3:05.2	Now, if you talk to people that had been away from the sacrament of confession for a long
3:10.0	time, maybe they simply didn't go or maybe they left the church. Maybe they're gone from the church
