Advent: Repent and Reform Confession is like a new baptism, a fresh start, a rebooting of the spiritual life, a simple, concrete way that God has given us to let his grace and forgiveness replenish our hope and relieve our anxiety. God has more blessings that he is eager to shower upon us, and to send through us to others - let's give him the chance, let's renew our commitment to repent and reform.
