Summary: Sermon titled "Help The Priest to Help You: The Love of God and Confession" given on Sunday September 16, 2012. Size: 5 MB; duration: 21:49. In the Sacrament of Penance, the priest is a judge, a doctor, a teacher, and a loving father. He wants nothing more than to help us grow in or regain the state of grace. We should open our soul to the priest and tell him all: God already knows our sins -- what difference does it make if the priest knows? The seal of confession prevents the priest from revealing anything said in confession (and is a sin for the priest which only the Pope can forgive).
