The Brother Hut | Ep. 42 - The Ministry of Confession

The Brother Hut

Welcome back!

On this 2-yr anniversary, the brothers talk about the experience of the very first episode. In honor of that, the brothers have returned to their roots of the podcast, by having poor audio quality (totally not planned, and we apologize for the poor sound)

In this episode, the brothers look at the the sacrament of Confession as a sacrament of healing. What happens in Confession? What is the function of the priest? What am I to do in confession? Confession is where we encounter the mercy of God, a wonderful mystery that heals our wounds of sin.

We talk about the longstanding tradition of Capuchin Confessors, as seen in the lives of St. Leopold and Padre Pio. The powerful ministry of confession is also important. One popular site of the province is a Mall Ministry, that the province has at the Citadel Mall in Colorado Springs. In that Ministry, Capuchin priests spend hours on end hearing confessions, offering masses and healing ministry. The ministry itself will soon celebrate the 20th anniversary since it's opening.

We want to know your experience of confession!

• As a person who goes to confession, what are you looking for?
• Do you want advice?
• Absolution and go?
• Long penance / short penance?
• Act of Contrition cards?
• Do you prefer face-to-face or behind the screen?

All this and more!
