"There are people who are afraid to go to confession, forgetting that they will not encounter a severe judge there, but the immensely merciful Father."

I always wished I could go to confession. I was so full of things I couldn't name and had an instinct to hide. I felt burdened by the loneliness of my interior life. I wanted some container that I could empty myself into, some ear that would never be shocked, even if it offered me some kind of penance.
