7th Sunday in Ordinary Time - B. ""It is I, I, who wipe out your offense."
You don't have to be a sociologist, or an 80 year old parish priest, to know fewer Catholics go to confession than generations ago. But outside the "sin bin" people confess to enormous mistakes, even mortal sins, on insipid daytime tv shows, internet scandal screeds, and the sports pages of newspapers. Maybe it would take a miracle to convince folks that God forgives sins through sacramental signs. But, boy, do we need God's forgiveness for our sins now.
