Wisdom from Adrienne von Speyr

The sacrament of confession is not a psychological affair in which the essential elements are self-reflection and self-recognition. It is rather a matter of God’s nearness, a nearness attained by the effective will to show oneself to God as one is, in a condition brought by the grace of the triune God to resemble that of the Son on the Cross.

—Adrienne von Speyr
