YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this episode of "Preach," Ann Garrido preaches for an Advent reconciliation service, exploring what Advent brings to the sacrament of reconciliation with host Ricardo da Silva, S.J. She begins with children wondering about the end of time—one boy insisting his paradise is "hamburgers"—and moves into Isaiah's peaceable kingdom and the real work of making peace with those closest to us. Together, they reframe confession as an act of faith in a God who heals the impossible, not merely a confession of sin. Part of the "Preaching for the Sacraments" series.
