There’s something about being able to reveal yourself and know it will remain unspoken. And though confession is a sacrament of conversion and transformation, our lives are an ongoing conversion. There will be times when we stop celebrating, when for some reason we leave the dance and look on from the outside. Sometimes it happens subtly, sometimes the record skips abruptly. How do I know when I have left the celebration? It’s similar to the question people often ask me “How often do I need to go to confession?” Well, this is when I know I need to go.
