    The Confessor


    1. No priest can give absolution who has not received the faculties for hearing confessions from the bishop of the diocese.
    2. Priests who are duly authorized to hear confessions have not power to absolve from all sins, since there are certain sins which the Pope or the bishop has reserved to himself for judgment. (Council of Trent, 14, 11).
    3. In the confessional the priest stands in the place of God; therefore the penitent is bound to yield him obedience.
    4. Under no possible conditions may the priest repeat anything out of the confessional,
    5. Every Catholic is perfectly free to choose his own confessor.

    The Nature and the Necessity of Penance.
    1. In the Sacrament of Penance the repentant Christian confesses his sins to a duly authorized priest, who, standing in the place of God, pronounces the absolution by means of which they are forgiven.
    2. The Sacrament of Penance is indispensably necessary for those who have fallen into sin after Baptism, for without this sacrament they are unable to recover the justice they have lost (Council of Trent, 14, 1; 6, 29).
    3. Let no one be deterred by a feeling of shame from confess ing his sins ; the priest dare not, under any pretext, reveal what is said in the confessional, and he is ever ready to receive the contrite sinner kindly.
    4. He who from a sense of shame conceals a mortal sin in confession, does not obtain forgiveness, but only adds to his other sins that of sacrilege; and exposes himself to the grave risk of dying impenitent.

    1. We must make a suitable preparation of body and soul be fore receiving holy communion.
    2. The manner in which we should prepare our soul is this: We must cleanse our souls from mortal sin by confession, perform good works, and adorn ourselves with the virtues.
    3. To receive holy communion when one is conscious of having committed a mortal sin, is to incur the guilt of sacrilege.
    4. Our body must be prepared for holy communion by fasting from midnight; by dressing in a neat and suitable manner, and by a reverent deportment at the time of communion.

    Oct 1 2025


    Holy communion acts spiritually, as bread and wine act materially.
    1. By holy communion we are united most closely to Christ. Our Lord says : " He that eateth My flesh and drinketh My blood, abideth in Me, and I in him " (John vi. 57) .
    2. Holy communion imparts actual graces, and also maintains and increases sanctifying grace in the soul.
    3. The force of evil concupiscence is lessened by holy communion, and we are freed from venial sin by means of it.
    4. Holy communion often affords much refreshment to the soul.
    5. Holy communion sanctifies the body, and implants in it the germ of a future glorious resurrection.

    The Necessity of Holy Communion.
    1. The Holy Sacrament of the Altar is the nourishment of our souls.
    2. We are bound under pain of mortal sin to communicate at least once a year, and that at Easter; also in case of dangerous illness. It is, moreover, the wish of the Church that the faithful should, if possible, receive holy communion on Sundays and holydays.

    Sep 17 2025
    Today, we begin to discuss the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the living heart of Catholicism and the main thing that differentiates us from protestant denominations. We will spend a few shows on this most important subject

    Institution and Nature of the Holy Eucharist.
    1. The body of Christ under the appearance of bread, and the blood of Christ under the appearance of wine, is called the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar.
    2. The presence of the body and blood of Christ under the ap pearance of bread and wine is a mystery, because our feeble reason cannot comprehend it.
    3. It is most true that under the species of bread, as also under the species of wine, Christ is present, God and man, whole and entire.
    4. Our Lord is present in every particle, however minute, of the consecrated bread and wine.
    5. Christ is present in the consecrated elements as long as the accidents of bread and wine remain.
    6. The duties of the Christian in regard to the Holy Sacrament of the Altar are these: He ought to visit it frequently, to adore it, and to receive it.
