There is a great celebration in heaven occuring today - if I can put it that way. Remember the words of our Savior: "I tell you, there will be rejoicing among the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10).
We celebrated only moments ago with some of our grade school children their first confession. God has blessed us with a beautiful day for this celebration: 78 degrees, a wonderful breeze, and rather blue skies with lots of clouds.
I ask you today, have you fulfilled the second precept of the Church: "You shall confess your sins at least once a year"? Doing so now will allow you to fulfill worthily the third precept of the Church: "You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least during the Easter season".
If you haven't been to confession in a while, go, I beg you. For what are you waiting? Christ is waiting for you. Let him untie the burdens of your sins and raise you to new life. Give the heavenly host a party today.
