This morning Father Chris Alar encouraged us to go to confession. We can trust in the merciful Jesus who came to save sinners and take courage as we enter the confessional, rather than be afraid. Fr. Chris also encouraged priests to be merciful when a penitent comes asking for forgiveness, and save the admonishing for another time. #FrChrisAlar #thedivinemercy #divinemercy #marian #marianfathers #marianhelpers #sacraments #confession #reconciliation #catholic #catholicisim #romancatholic #mercy
