"If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." John 20:23

"Confession heals, confession justifies, confession grants pardon of sin, all hope consists in confession; in confession there is a chance for mercy." - St. Isidore of Seville

Monsignor John Esseff is a Roman Catholic Priest in the Diocese of Scranton who was also the spiritual advisor and confessor to Blessed Mother Teresa. He also got spiritual direction from St Padre Pio when he was a young priest. This is a very rare opportunity to hear someone who was directed by and also given directions to our most recent Saints of the Church St Padre Pio and Blessed Mother Teresa!

Monsignor looks at the importance of the Sacrement of Confession, why we need it and how going to Confession can transform our lives and heal us. Why forgiveness is extremity healing and powerful and also on the other hand why the lack of forgiveness is one of the most damaging things we can do.
