Who do you turn to when life gets crazy?
Fresh snow is similar to Confession

After a fresh snow, everything looks clean. The clean white is beautiful to look at and sometimes even blinding. After Confession, we ARE clean. Our soul has been cleansed from all sin. Unlike the snow, our sin has not been merely covered over to look nice. No, our sin has been removed. We have given it to Jesus and He destroyed it.
The snow may be beautiful, but your soul is even more beautiful after Confession. Sure, the remnants of sin may still affect your life, but they have no attachment to your soul. You may sin again, but the past sins given in Confession have been destroyed. Any new sins are the only ones you have.
You have the ability to be rid from sins with God’s grace. It takes God’s grace to be rid from sins in Confession and it takes God’s grace to keep away from sin.
Mary, as “Full of Grace”, you were able to keep away from sin for the entirety of your life. As our mother, help us to keep away from sin and to go to Confession in order that we might rid our self from sin. Amen.

I am an adopted son of God through baptism, though still a great sinner. God has blessed me with a wonderful wife and 11 lovely children, 3 of which have gone to Heaven before their birth.
I love the Rosary and started sharing little Catholic reflections with others. My little reflections have helped deepen my faith and I hope they can help others as well. Though not always fully inspired by the Holy Spirit, I enjoy when He takes over and seeing what direction He takes the reflection.
Please say a prayer for me and I will continue to pray for all who read my little reflections, especially for them to be read as the Holy Spirit intends. St. Maximilian Kolbe, pray for the success of my little reflections and for all of Catholic365 and its readers.
