The Secret of Confession: Including the Wonders of Confession

This must be the most intriguing and delightful book ever written on the Sacrament of Confession. The beloved Fr. Paul O’Sullivan — author of All About the Angels, How to Be Happy — How to Be Holy, Read Me or Rue It, and many other extremely popular books and booklets — brings forth in this little gem a host of true stories about Confession, plus quotations on Confession from Holy Scripture and from the Saints of the early Church. Many of his anecdotes involve non-Catholics, showing how Confession has won the admiration even of Protestants. He combines all these elements to prove that Confession comes from Our Lord Himself, that it gives renewed courage and youthfulness of spirit to the heart and soul, and that by means of weekly Confession any sin can be conquered! (Fr. O’Sullivan also gives sound Catholic counsel to mothers and fathers about encouraging frequent Confession for their children as a means of protecting them from grave dangers against purity.)

The Secret of Confession shows that God has given a very practical and workable remedy for every ill that ails the human soul — a divine remedy equally capable of dissolving the hardened indifference of repeated mortal sin and of healing the “lesser” faults of little children. This book reveals one of the truly great “secrets” of the Catholic Faith. It describes with great warmth and love the Sacrament of Confession — that spiritual tonic whereby God both raises up great and heroic saints and also leads countless “ordinary” Catholics to a remarkable purity of heart in this life and to the eternal reward of Heaven in the next.
