What to Say to the Penitent Father Doyle admits that for years he found it "a most difficult and frustrating task" to think of something suitable to say to penitents in confession. Then he had an inspiration: he would base his spiritual direction on the Epistles and Gospels from the upcoming Sunday Mass. "Then," he says, "when the person hears the Epistle or Gospel read again on the following Sunday, the chances are good that the words of the confessor will be recalled and suitably applied." |
