If people knew the real value of Confession, they would be fighting to get into the Confessional.
This Sacrament of Reconciliation does much more that "just" rid us of our sins; it gives us a tremendous increase in sanctifying grace. It wins for us a higher place in Heaven, with increased union with God.
Each time we go to Confession, we are preserved from many dangers and misfortunes which might otherwise have befallen us.
Confession is reconciliation with God--we admit our faults, we confess our pride, we want to be again in union with Him--and from all this honest and sincere reformation of life will come God's added grace. The power of satan over us is diminished. We are helped to resist sin.
Without reformation and reconciliation, and all that these words imply, the Sacrament of Confession could become a superstitious practice.
A devout Confession helps us to hear the inspirations of the Holy Spirit. It gives us added "spiritual muscle" and helps us to hear and follow the advice of our Guardian Angels. It rids us of mortal sin and gives us a greater desire to be free even of venial sin. It gives us a special preserving influence against the fires of passion.
Pope Paul VI described Confession as: "... a school of moral wisdom, ... a training ground for spiritual energy..."
Pope Pius XII, St. Vincent de Paul, St. Philip Neri, Ven. Mary of Agreda and many others went to confession every day.
St. Francis of Rome went three times a day.
These people knew how true it is that: "Confession is good for the soul."
"My child, make it known to mankind that penance and confession is a private communication between the confessor, the penitent, and God." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 7, 1976
Our Lady of the Roses Bayside messages:
These messages came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995.
TRUE FAITH
"You still have time to make restitution and 
	atonement to save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. 
	You must be an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will 
	learn much by your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973 
	
BE PURIFIED
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and 
	allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but 
	he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and 
	confession. What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels 
	him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to 
	his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is 
	degraded by sin of mortal nature!" - Our Lady, September 7, 1976 
	
MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen 
	solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God . . . . As a 
	man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior." - St. 
	Theresa, October 2, 1975 
MOCKERY
"Do not make 
	a mockery of the Sacraments in My Son's House. Do not blaspheme in My Son's 
	House. My children, you will bring the wrath of God upon you." - Our 
	Lady, December 7, 1976 
ACCEPT GRACES
"Each 
	day of your life must begin with prayer and end with prayer. Accept all of 
	the graces that are given to you freely. Do not reject the means given to 
	you through your Sacraments." - Jesus, February 10, 1977 
	
OFFSET EVIL
"My children, you have been given 
	armor. I have repeated over and over and admonished you to wear the 
	sacramentals for a reason. You are fighting a war now with the unseen, the 
	supernatural. In the plan from Heaven there are Sacraments and sacramentals 
	that can offset the evil and protect you and your loved ones from this 
	evil." - Our Lady, November 21, 1977 
SEARCHING
	"My children, many are turning from your Sacraments--searching for a new 
	world, a world that is abounding with the word love, love! but who knows the 
	true meaning of the word love? How many are willing to sacrifice for this 
	love? How many are willing to starve themselves of their worldly desires, 
	for this love? How many would be willing to give their lives for this 
	love?" - Our Lady, June 15, 1974 
RETURN
	"Return to the graces of your Sacraments and Holy Church, or condemn 
	yourselves to eternity with Lucifer! Consecrate your home with the Holy 
	Spirit. Use the waters of life to chase the demons from within your 
	homes." - St. Joachim, July 25, 1973 
BE AN 
	EXAMPLE
"You still have time to make restitution and atonement to 
	save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. You must be 
	an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will learn much by 
	your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973 
	PRICELESS HERITAGE
"My children, in your baptism upon earth you have 
	received the road, you have received the keys to the Kingdom. But you do not 
	recognize your priceless heritage, and you cast it aside for a few short 
	years upon earth, gathering the world's treasures and power to yourselves. 
	For what? Each and every one of you with leave upon earth with what you came 
	in with--nothing! Nothing but the merits that you have stored to ransom your 
	soul from purgatory. Nothing but the merits you have gathered to allow you 
	to enter the Eternal Kingdom of happiness and light." - Jesus, December 
	7, 1978 
FOR LIFE
"When a man has given 
	himself, and chosen from out of the world as a priest of his God, he will be 
	a priest for life." - Our Lady, March 18, 1973 
A 
	HOLY BOND
"My child, you have been much concerned about the 
	dissolvement of many marriages in your country. It is truly a sad happening 
	among mankind, My child, for it is the hand of Satan reaching in and 
	capturing the souls of many. What God has joined together in holy Matrimony, 
	let no man place asunder. The liberal attitudes now prevalent in My Son's 
	House bring many tears to Our hearts, for they will lead many souls onto the 
	road to hell.
    "Accept your cross, My children, as you 
	struggle through life with your spouse. When you are united in the holy bond 
	of Matrimony, you are responsible for the soul of your spouse. Unto death 
	shall you part and only unto death will you part.
    
	"Many of Our children have entered onto the wide road to hell and purgatory. 
	And why? Because too few pray for them and they have now fallen into line 
	with many false teachers.
    "When a union in Matrimony 
	is blessed by My Son through a legitimate, legally ordained priest, His 
	representative, no man shall take it upon himself for worldly gain, money, 
	prestige and power to break the tie that has bound them together by 
	Heaven!" - Our Lady, May 15, 1976 
GUILTY
	"I do not, at this time, intend to point out any individual, but My voice 
	goes out to you, as My Mother; you know if you are guilty of any sins 
	against the Sacraments.
    "There are seven Sacraments 
	commanded of you by Heaven, My children, and you will keep them. You shall 
	not take them apart by using rationality, and modernism, and humanism. This 
	cannot be." - Jesus, June 18, 1987 
NEW MODES
	"You must not reject the Sacraments in My Church; you must not reject the 
	teachings for new modes of modernism and socialism." - Jesus, June 2, 
	1979 
YOUR FORTIFICATION
"Prayer, and prayer 
	alone, with the graces gained in sacramentals and Sacraments will be your 
	fortification against the agents of hell now loosed in great number upon 
	your earth." - Jesus, March 24, 1973 
YOU REJECT
"Through countless years upon your earth, I have 
	cried out in warning to you. O My children, keep your sacramentals about 
	you. Accept and do not reject the Sacraments of My Son's House: Baptism, 
	Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and 
	Matrimony. And Matrimony, My children-you reject the natural laws of your 
	God. You are substituting a pagan way of life!" - Our Lady, November 1, 
	1976 
COVENANT
"All who have been chosen by 
	the Father to be given the grace of baptism shall have--from that day 
	forward--a covenant with the Lord." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974
	
CLEANSING OF SOUL
"The young children must be 
	taken by their parents to the temples-the Houses of My Son-throughout your 
	world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by 
	confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and 
	received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and 
	nurture them in their Faith." - Our Lady, November 20, 1975 
	
YOU WILL FALL
"Know, My child, that the heart of the 
	sacrifice is in what you call the Eucharist. You will eat of My Body and 
	drink of My Flesh or you will not have the light within you. You will not 
	have the light within you, but will fall into darkness if you do not eat of 
	My Body and drink of My Flesh." - Jesus, May 22, 1974 
	
COMMUNICATION
"My child, make it known to mankind that penance 
	and confession is a private communication between the confessor, the 
	penitent, and God." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976
