CONFESSION: THE CHURCH WAS RIGHT AGAIN!
Researchers are discovering that speaking honestly about our failures, taking responsibility for our actions, and confronting painful truths can reduce stress and improve emotional well-being.
Catholics call that Confession.
Studies suggest that putting emotions into words can help regulate them.
Admitting our faults instead of burying them can bring relief.
Many people report feeling lighter and more at peace after confronting difficult truths.
Of course, we don't go to Confession because it makes us feel better. We go because Christ gave us the sacrament for the forgiveness of sins.
Still, it makes sense that when the soul is healed, the mind often benefits too.
How long has it been since your last Confession?
