We know this: when we go to the sacrament of reconciliation with a truly contrite heart and receive absolution, we are forgiven of our sins by the blood of Jesus Christ. So, if you've ever left the confessional still feeling bad, you might wonder... "What gives?"

- "I'm forgiven, but I still have to deal with the consequences."
- "Someone else knows what I did."
- "I've broken God's heart."
Finally, Fr. Mike reveals the source of these lingering regrets. The solution is deceptively simple.
