Steps of the Sacrament of Confession
Let us review the steps of the sacrament of Confession. "Jesus Christ our Lord, our God, instituted the sacraments, which are like the footprints of his footsteps, so that we may tread there and reach Heaven. And one of the most beautiful and consoling sacraments is the sacrament of Confession. St. Josemaría, Argentina, June 15, 1974.
Pope Francis on poverty

To Jesus through Mary: The Intercession of the Virgin Mary
Our Lady intercedes for each one of us. Just as for a mother her children are unique and different from one another, so are we for Mary. She always keeps for us a gaze that invites us to trust and brings us closer to her, and so we come to Jesus through Mary.
The Assumption of the Virgin Mary

How does faith work?
Is it reasonable to believe in God? God comes to meet us in many ways. In every moving experience of nature, in every truly human encounter, in every seeming chance, in every suffering, in every challenge we face, there is a hidden message from God for each of us. We also hear it in the voice of our conscience if it is open to the truth.
