Confession: It's Here To Help You - August 27, 2026
The Inner Life
* On today’s show, Fr. Kris Stubna talks about Confession: It’s here to help you. * Break 1 * Susan - I was at Confession recently and it was face to face. I confessed, but Father was looking at his phone and scrolling the entire time. I was a little distracted by that and didn't know how to handle it. Could you comment on how to handle that? * Nancy - I am a senior citizen. Recently I've grown in faith and went to confession. It was a visiting priest. He was so gracious and loving. I was expecting the worst, but I truly felt healed. * Miles - Concern I had from a prisoner is that the priest didn't have enough time to hear confessions. Can the bishop give him permission to have a shortened version of the mass and still have time for confessions? * Patrick - I love confession. * Break 2 * Joanne - I had an experience on Easter Sunday and someone asked if there were confessions. I asked Father and he immediately went in and heard the man's confession before Mass. It was such a beautiful thing. * Tony - It's changed my life over the years. I used to take it for granted. * Carrie - I learned that the grace received in the sacrament has been such a help in avoiding sin in the future. It's almost like a little Christmas.
