Going to confession in religion and going into AA after a long absence or first time have something in common. You feel kind of terrible maybe even wretched. You don’t much like yourself and maybe others would agree in your everyday life. But by going in and admitting the truth about your mess, you have the chance to come out feeling a whole lot better. The more honest, humble and thorough, the more you will feel wonderful later. And then going to confession more regularly and attending meetings more regularly will have even better results and all those people who avoided you might welcome you back.
The homilies and musings of a Paulist Priest.

I sincerely hope your mission thrives. The Church these days seems overly intent on preaching politics and battering its members with ultimatums and threats instead of focusing on the messages of love, forgiveness and daily sacrifice that convert followers from the inside out and are therefore more effective in the long run!
