Episode notes
Repent And Believe Is Active
- Jesus' first command is "repent and believe," framing Lent as active conversion rather than passive observance.
- Fr. Ken emphasizes belief as a verb requiring internal change and concrete response to grace.
Father Ken's Confession Rhythm
- Fr. Ken recounts phases of his own practice: only a few times a year, then weekly, then balancing monthly.
- He admits sometimes forgetting if he'd already confessed and adjusted to a sustainable rhythm.
Make Confession A Habit
- Aim to go to confession regularly, with monthly confession as a recommended goal from tradition and saints.
- Fr. Ken suggests many listeners likely underuse this sacrament and should reclaim its grace.
