Don't be afraid to go for confession

I heard an interesting homily during Novena service yesterday. Here are some takeaways of mine.

"God has a very poor memory. He cannot remember your sins when you go for confession." - Fr Simon Pereira

"Usually the priests will give you penances and absolutions after confession. They have no right to criticize you for what you have done. If they scold you, you can scold them back. I give you permission for that!" - Fr Simon Pereira
