• Do not be afraid of Confession! One who is in line to confess himself feels all these things - even shame - but then, when he finishes confessing, he leaves free, great, beautiful, forgiven, [...] happy. And this is the beauty of Confession... Jesus is there...and He receives you with so much love.

  Pope Francis

• You go to someone and you think, 'I'll tell him this.' But why? The impulse is that the telling is going to relieve you. And that's why you feel awful later--you've relieved yourself, and if it truly is tragic and awful, it's not better, it's worse---the exhibitionism inherent to a confession has only made the misery worse.

• A diary is the last place to go if you wish to seek the truth about a person. Nobody dares to make the final confession to themselves on paper: or at least, not about love.

• Confession frees, but power reduces one to silence; truth does not belong to the order of power, but shares an origincal affinity with freedom: traditional themes in philosophy, which a political history of truth would have to overturn by showing that truth is not by nature free--nor error servile--but that its production is thoroughly imbued with relations of power. The confession is an example of this.

  Michel Foucault

• In the doctrine of Providence, we have a specific Christian confession exclusively possible through faith in Jesus Christ. This faith is no general, vague notion of Providence. It has a concrete focus: ‘If God is for us, who is against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not also with him freely give us all things?’ (Rom.8:31, 32).

  G. C. Berkouwer

• Hay muchas maneras de encubrir nuestro pecado. Podemos justificarlo o minimizarlo culpando a las circunstancias y a otras personas. Sin embargo, el verdadero arrepentimiento primero admite el pecado como pecado y asume toda la responsabilidad. La confesión y el arrepentimiento verdaderos comienzan cuando termina el cambio de culpas... Así como el arrepentimiento verdadero comienza sólo cuando termina el cambio de culpas, también comienza cuando termina la autocompasión, y comenzamos a apartarnos de nuestro pecado por amor a Dios y no por mero interés propio.

  Timothy Keller

  Real, Responsibility, Self

• Every Christian is chosen-chosen for similar deeds, namely: to be with the Lord, through unceasing remembrance of Him and awareness of His omnipresence, through the preaching and fulfillment of His commandments, and through a readiness to confess one's faith in Him. In those circles where such a confession is made, it is a loud sermon for all to hear.
