The miracle of holy confession

In his book, The Miracle of Holy Confession, Franz Spirago provides a comprehensive guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation. He answers questions about what sin is and how it affects the human soul, explains the difference between venial and mortal sin, and discusses contrition and perfect contrition. He draws all his answers regarding the Sacrament of Reconciliation from Catholic Church doctrine and Scripture, as well as from the time-tested wisdom of the Church Fathers and the saints, who bore the most eloquent witness through their own lives.

Today, confession is often seen as old-fashioned or even unnecessary. The author seems to have anticipated this over a century ago; he addresses these objections to confession and regular confession calmly and understandingly, yet radically. Perfect self-knowledge, humility, and profound peace are just some of the miracles you can experience by choosing to receive one of the central sacraments offered by the Church – free of charge, every single day.

The book has received ecclesiastical approval.
