Probably the hardest thing for me has been to forgive myself. This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@Catholicspeaker]

Thanks for sharing.

[@lucyjhawthorne150]

A priest once told me that when confessed sins resurface in your consciousness, it is the devil trying to take hold. The devil goes to one's weakest points.

[@Catholicspeaker]

Thanks for the additional thought.

[@CatholicPrayersandTeachings]

Amen!

[@godstrong1]

Unlock the door of your heart! Thanks Ken, no more looking back at my shadow! Monthly confession for this past year has changed me!🌹🌹feeling so blessed!

[@Catholicspeaker]

Wonderful - thanks for sharing.

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Ken I'd love to meet one of those rare Priests who already know your sins before you confess because I always have a bad feeling that maybe I forgot something from my past.

[@StJosephsspiritualchild]

same this is exactly what i hope for too and how i feel when im confessing

[@donnamoeller4247]

I do, also, but I always say, "Please forgive any sins I have forgotten. "

[@conniegiovenco583]

Golly!!! That IS me z All the way! "What did i forget?! Oh God i DON'T want to go ..."

I loved the prayer at the end of the video .. Thank you.. 🙏

[@Catholicspeaker]

Thanks for the feedback. All the prayers at the end of each Advent video are from St Alphonsus.

Oh my heart💖 This was so moving. Where can I find that prayer at the end? I have someone I'd like to share it with. She's in congestive heart failure and has been away from the Church most her adult life. I'm trying desperately to plant seeds I order to have her permission to have a priest visit. Your video skills are really taking a notch up. This was very good! All for God's greater honor and glory🙏

Regarding the editing - these improvements are thanks to Matthew who now edits most of our videos. We were able to hire him part time, thanks to our supporters! This has greatly freed me to give more time to working on the content of each video.

[@kathywiens9852]

@Catholicspeaker I'm sure you'll pass the compliment on. 👏👏

No, two things from the past haunt me, the evil things that people have done to me and my family and the many times that God abandoned us even though he always helps the ones he loves. I will never get over this trauma, in this life or the next.

[@loveall7622]

Thank you for this video ,lots to ponder 🙏I have a question for you Ken ...If Jesus in His Infinite Mercy is so Loving with His Unfathomable Mercy forgives us of our sins in Holy Confession and wipes our soul as clean as snow and remembers our sins no more ✝️...why do we still have to suffer the pangs of purgatory..for many many years and maybe even until the end of the world 😢God bless you and your family and your ministry 🙏✝️

[@Catholicspeaker]

My quick thought: if Jesus does not take away the temporal punishment due to sin...it must be for our greater good. The Baltimore catechisms says: God requires a temporal punishment as a satisfaction for sin to teach us the great evil of sin and to prevent us from falling again.
