Comfort and Confession (Fr. Erik Arnold, 12/6/2020)

"Comfort, give comfort to my people." (Isaiah 40:1) This is comfort not as a warm fuzzy, but in its original sense: a consoling strength. The Lord's people needed it during their time of exile in Babylon, and we need it in our own way now. The most beautiful and profound way he gives us this consoling strength is through his mercy, poured out in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. If you've ever thought God gave up on you; if you've ever thought your sins were too great for God's love; if you've ever thought God couldn't find a way to save you, please let him show you otherwise in the Sacrament of his merciful love.
