Do you love or hate going to Confession? Perspectives Weekly

Deacon Pedro

Friday, January 19, 2018

It's probably safe to say that no one really likes to go to Confession. We may know it’s good for us, like eating our vegetables, but we don’t like doing it. Who likes telling someone else all the bad things they did? But do you ever wonder what the experience is like for priests? To answer these questions and to help us with our own Confession, this week, on an all-new Weekly Edition of Perspectives, Deacon Pedro speaks with Fr. Michael Prieur, who, for 30 years, taught seminarians how to hear Confessions when he was professor of Theology at St. Peter’s Seminary in London, Ontario. His latest book is named after the course he taught: The Art of the Confessor.
If you are interested in purchasing a copy of The Art of the Confessor, email Fr. Prieur directly at prieurpublications@gmail.com.

For the last two weeks (part 1 and part 2) I’ve been trying to imagine what our world would be like had Jesus never been born. It’s easy to say that The Church would not exist or that we would have no Pope. There would be no priests, deacons, religious sisters or brothers, nor there […]

Deacon-structing Christmas: Had Jesus Not Been Born | Part 2

Last week I was imagining a world without Christmas. That would mean no Christmas music and no Christmas movies. But a world without Jesus would mean much more to our popular culture. One of my favourite Broadway musicals is Les Miz. I never read the novel, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo and wasn’t crazy about […]

I remember once, a Cuban friend who grew up in Cuba with no Christmas, telling me that she had never seen or heard of a Christmas tree before she left Cuba. But had Christ never been born, the implications would be much worse than not having Christmas trees. Just think of the music we’d be […]
