Catholics go to Confession to a priest for one reason only: to obtain divine forgiveness for their sins. But why, you ask, gb to a priest? Why not confess our sins directly to God? Ask the man who goes to Confession and here's what he will tell you: Sin is an offense against God; it must be forgiven by God. It is God, not man, who determines how forgiveness must be obtained. Christ plainly pointed this out when He empowered His Apostles and their successors to forgive sins or to refuse forgiveness. "Whose sins you shall forgive," Christ said, "they are forgiven them; whose sins you shall retain, they are retained" (John 20:21- 23) Thus Christ authorized the Apostles, and their successors, to pardon or to deny pardon as they judge the sinner worthy or unworthy. To do this they bad to know what they were forgiving.. the secret dispositions of the sinner.. his sorrow and willingness to repair the wrong done to his neighbor by his sins. Who could mate this known but the sinner luuiself - and what is this but Confession? But Confession -- the Sacrament of Penance -- is only one of the seven Sacraments Christ left in His Church. Yes, seven -- no more and no less! Christ's religion is not merely a message to be accepted, but a life to be lived -- from die cradle to the grave Christ's seven Sacraments are the answer to nun's seven basic needs. Man is born, but he needs to be reborn a Christian in the Sacrament of Baptism. He is nourished, but he needs Christian nourishment in Holy Communion, the Sacrament of the Eucharist He grows, bur he needs to grow and be strengthened in Christiim life by the Sacrament of Confirmation. He is cured of disease, but he needs a remedy for Sin, so destructive of Christian life, and this he finds in the Sacrament of Penance. Man lives in society which needs officials to promote the common good -- and for his life in the1 Church, he finds officials provided by the Sacrament of Orders. He perpetuates the human race in marriage, which Christ made the Sacrament of Matrimony. And at death, he needs consolation and streogth for the last dread hour which he finds in the Last Anointing -- the Sacrament of Extreme Unction.
