Confession is important

Sac. Car.

In paragraph 20, and again in paragraph 55, Benedict XVI cautions against going to communion all the time, automatically, as if “the mere fact of their being present in church during the liturgy gives them a right or even an obligation to approach the table of the Eucharist.” One reason for this “superficial approach,” he writes, is the widespread loss of the sense of sin. In order to go to communion, one must be “in a state of grace.” In the following paragraph, the pope encourages the faithful to go to confession frequently. And he warns that individual confession must be the ordinary form, “limiting the practice of general absolution exclusively to the cases permitted.”
