Fr. James Farfaglia on Sin and Confession

"This Sunday, our attention is being directed toward an understanding of the reality of sin.  Let us recall the words of this Sunday's gospel narrative: ‘And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil.  For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed’ (John 3: 19-20).”

In a recent commentary, Father James Farfaglia, pastor of Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Parish,Corpus Christi, TX, reflected, in light of this past Sunday’s Gospel reading, the reality of sin and the freeing power of the sacrament of Reconciliation.
