Confession and Healing
Nothing in human experience is as efficacious in curing the memory and imagination as confession; it cleanses us of guilt and if we follow the admonition a of Our Lord we shall put completely out of mind our confessed sins: “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62). Confession also heals the imagination, eliminating its anxiety for the future.
