The Joy of Confession: “NEMO PECCAT VIDENS DEUS” Translation: No one sins seeing God.

“Christians” by Maya Angelou

When I say I am Christian... I’m not shouting, “I am clean livin’” I’m whispering “I was lost, Now I am found and forgiven.”

When I say I am Christian... I don’t speak of this with pride. I’m confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.

When I say I am Christian... I’m not trying to be strong. I’m professing that I’m weak And need His strength to carry on.

When I say I am Christian... I’m not bragging of success. I’m admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess.

When I say I am Christian... I’m not claiming to be perfect, My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it.

When I say I am Christian... I still feel the sting of pain I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.

When I say I am Christian... I’m not holier than thou, I’m just a simple sinner Who received God’s good GRACE somehow!

But... Joy of CONFESSION?!

For Your Reflection 1. What’s your response to the theological proverb that no one sins seeing God? 2. The Examination (next slide) I share with you tonight is designed to foster an awareness of God, neighbor, and self. The Examination holds a special place in the daily prayers of Jesuit priests, brothers, and seminarians from every part of the world. Since Jesuit beginnings, founder St. Ignatius Loyola consistently spoke of the value of this spiritual exercise for all believers everywhere.

Examination of Conscience Thanksgiving –Lord, I realize that all, even myself, is gift from you. Today for what things am I most grateful? Intention –Lord, open my eyes and ears to be more honest with myself. Today what do I really want for myself? Examination –Lord, show me what has been happening to me and in me this day. Today, in what ways have I experienced your love? Contrition –Lord, I am still learning to grow in your love. Today, what choices have been inadequate responses to your love? Hope –Lord, let me look with longing towards the future. Today, how I let you lead me to a brighter tomorrow?
