Walking the Camino - Pope Francis on God's Mercy

It is not easy to entrust oneself to God's mercy, because it is an abyss beyond our comprehension. But we must! ... "Oh, I am a great sinner!" "All the better! Go to Jesus: He likes you to tell him these things!" He forgets, He has a very special capacity for forgetting. He forgets, He kisses you, He embraces you and He simply says to you: "Neither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more" (Jn 8:11).

Reconcile with the Lord!  Go to confession.  Don't be afraid.  Our priests have heard it all.  The camino is almost over.  Do not end your camino without entering the confessional and saying,
"Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.  It's been ____ since I've been to confession.  During this time I have......"  It's that easy.  If you need help, the priest will lead you through your confession.  God is waiting.  He forgets our sins.  He loves you.
