Pope Benedict XVI, St. Paul, and the Power of Confession
"The more we try to follow in the footsteps of Jesus of Nazareth on the roads of Galilee, so much the more will we understand that he has taken charge of our humanity, sharing in everything except sin," he said. "Our faith is not born from a myth or an idea, but from an encounter with the Risen One, in the life of the Church."
Here is an insightful post on "Why Confession?"
"It almost doesn't even matter what we confess. What matters is that our heart has turned back to God. We've acknowledged our need of him. We've therefore put ourselves back into his will.
Confession is actually a good, healthy and wholesome thing to do. It's healthy and wholesome like getting up early, getting some exercise, turning off the TV and eating our vegetables."
