My First Confession ~ Deacon Brendan Brides

Last week the children of our parish made their first penance or as some of us might remember it; their first confession. As young children in Ireland preparing for our first confession, our teacher introduced us to a wonderful and entertaining short story about a young boy who had great apprehension towards making his first confession. The story is written by famed Irish author Frank O' Connor. It's about a fifteen minute read but well worth the time taken. I have attached a link here to My First Confession by Frank O'Connor.

This Lent is an opportunity for all of us to reflect back on our first confession. Are you being called back to the confessional to experience Jesus' unlimited mercy again?
