The joy and risk of forgetting

A lot of people mistake a short memory for a clear conscience. -Doug Larson
    I think this really applies to Confession.  Poor, shallow and rushed examinations of conscience often prevent the Sacrament and Our Lord from doing the real work of conversion. The truth will only set us free when we are willing to face the truth about ourselves.  That is humbling news, but profoundly freeing news.
