Psalm 42:3a

So I haven't read any scripture yet, but I decided to write on the Psalm from the day I'm reading. As I am still very far behind, I am on Monday of the 4th week of Easter, or April 26th to be more exact. So what is the Psalm for that day? Why it's Psalm 42:3a "Athirst is my soul for the living God." What does that mean to me? Well for starters yesterday I had the chance to go to confession at St. Peter's in Steubenville. I know that those priests are true gifts from God. They always make you feel welcome to Confession. I mean, come on, I struggle to get myself to go. Then it's the same old same old. I really didn't do anything that bad. But I've waited 2 hours to go to confession there last year. Yesterday I waited a bit over an hour. I wanted-no I longed to hear the words of Jesus as he helps me overcome my own sinfulness. Not to say I don't hear him elsewhere, but here is a place where I fell in love with the Sacrament of Penance. My soul was thirsty for freedom and I found that in the priest I confessed my sins to. I love the fact that these men act In Persona Christi because I get to have a conversation with Jesus and he is physically talking back to me. One piece of advice Jesus told me yesterday was that we often make mistakes, but the fact that we recognize them and bring them before God is a step in the right direction. It's good to hear this being back in "The Bubble" because I no longer have the bubble effect keeping me in check. Now it's me and only myself keeping me in check. Now I just need to learn how to recognize my mistakes more often and want to correct them for the good of myself in order to build up the body of Christ.
