YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNever Stop Coming Back to God
So many people struggle with discouragement in the spiritual life. “I’ve confessed this sin a hundred times,” some say, “what’s the point of trying again?” But as Fr. Chris Alar reminds us, this is exactly the time when God’s mercy is most powerful. It doesn’t matter how many times you fall — what matters is that you always rise again with a contrite heart and return to the Lord in repentance.
The Sacrament of Confession is not a courtroom where God condemns, but a hospital where the Divine Physician heals. A good priest will never try to crush your spirit or make you feel unworthy of grace. Instead, he will encourage you to keep fighting, to keep trusting, and to never stop seeking the mercy that Christ longs to give you. Every return to Confession is an act of love, humility, and hope.
Remember, the enemy wants you to give up, but God never does. His mercy is infinite, His patience unending, and His desire for your salvation beyond measure. However many times you stumble, however deep the wounds of sin, Jesus is waiting to forgive, restore, and strengthen you again. Come back to Him today — and never stop coming back.
