Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion

Let me, to my latest breath,

In my body bear the death

Of your dying Son divine.

For Reflection:

To die with Christ and be risen in Him is the quest of every holy soul. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the greatest aids in making this holy desire our final reality. It helps us advance in virtue, grow in self-knowledge, attain true humility, uproot bad habits, prevent spiritual negligence, combat apathy, purify our conscience, strengthen our will, receive spiritual direction, and acquire the grace of the Sacrament itself (Mystici Corporis).

Of the benefits of the Sacrament listed above, which do I most need? Which would others tell me I most need? Journal your insights.
