Today, the Lord has been teaching me, once again, how I am to approach the Sacrament of Penance, "My daughter, just as you prepare in My presence, so also you make your confession before Me. The person of the priest is, for Me, only a screen. Never analyse what sort of a priest it is that I am making use of, - open your soul in confession as you would to Me, and I will fill it with My light."   WORDS OF JESUS TO ST. FAUSTINA   (Diary, 1725)
