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?"

Today, Fr. Mike identifies 3 reasons why we might be experiencing a lingering feeling of guilt after confession, and he gives us a bit of advice to deal with those feelings.

1. "I'm forgiven, but I still have to deal with the consequences."
2. "Someone else knows what I did."
3. "I've broken God's heart."

Finally, Fr. Mike reveals the source of these lingering regrets. The solution is deceptively simple.
