Excellent homily from Fr. Benedict Nivakoff, O.S.B (Norica Abbey) on Forgiveness

[Parresia]

Fr. Benedict hits the nail on the head as far as I am concerned.  I have just as much, if not more, difficulty accepting forgiveness as I do giving it.  In fact, when I came into the Church, it was my main issue with the idea of the Sacrament of Confession.
