Penance is sacrament of God's mercy, healing love, Pope Benedict tells young people...

"The young children must be taken by their parents to the temples--the Houses of My Son--throughout your world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and nurture them in their Faith." - Our Lady of the Roses, November 20, 1975

Catholic News Service reported on March 29, 2007:

The sacrament of penance is the sacrament of God's mercy and an outpouring of God's healing love, Pope Benedict XVI told young people from Rome.

"With this sacrament's penitential cleansing, we are readmitted into full communion with God and with the church," the pope told the young people attending a March 29 penance service.

The evening prayer service was held in a packed St. Peter's Basilica where Pope Benedict and some 200 priests heard individual confessions and offered absolution.

So many young people requested the free tickets to the liturgy that hundreds of them had to watch on television screens in the Vatican audience hall; they were joined by dozens of priests who ensured they, too, had an opportunity to receive the sacrament.

In his homily, Pope Benedict said the service was "an encounter around the cross, a celebration of the mercy of God, which each of you can experience personally in the sacrament of confession."

"Yes, the cross reveals the fullness of God's love for us, a crucified love that does not end with the scandal of Good Friday, but culminates in the joy of the Resurrection and Ascension into heaven and in the gift of the Holy Spirit, the spirit of love through whom, including this evening, sins will be forgiven and pardon and peace will be given," he said.

After the communal prayers, Pope Benedict removed his heavy purple cope and, dressed in an alb with a purple stole, went into a confessional where he spent 35 minutes offering the sacrament to penitents behind a screen.

In addition to the pope's homily, the young people were led in their examination of conscience with "requests for forgiveness" based on the seven deadly sins: lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.

Seven young people took turns reading the prayer while seven of their peers lighted candles at the foot of a crucifix.

Sins connected with lust, the prayer said, "make us slaves of sex," place "individuals, families and society at risk," and fuel prostitution and pedophilia.

It included a plea for forgiveness for watching pornography on video or over the Internet and for believing that "every instinct must find immediate satisfaction."

"Help us to keep our hearts and minds chaste and not to have sexual relations before or outside of matrimony (and) to avoid perversion and the bizarre," it said.

"Teach us modesty and dignity in the way we dress, watch over our gazes and fantasies," it said.

Turning to gluttony, the prayer asked pardon not just for overeating, but also for smoking and for alcohol and drug abuse -- "dependencies that make us slaves."

The prayer asked God's help in practicing abstinence to "detoxify the body and the mind. Help us discover the healthy pleasure of life."

In asking forgiveness for greed, the prayer included a request for pardon for working on Sundays, for being dishonest and for not giving to charity.

"Forgive the terrible consequences of an obsession with money: family fights, anxiety and false fears, betrayal, fraud, cheating, lying, violence and hardness of heart," it said.

"Forgive the injustices of society, the dramatic inequalities between rich and poor countries, the wars, the inhuman exploitation and the confusion of consciences produced by a system of accumulation and consumption that does everything to excite the longing to possess," the prayer said.

In reflecting on sloth and laziness, the prayer asked forgiveness for dependency on "stimuli and exterior pleasures" and for the times when boredom leads to distraction during prayer.

"Forgive us when sloth generates disgust and boredom for every healthy and spiritual activity," it continued.

The prayer of pardon for envy also asked forgiveness for the selfishness that prevents the people from loving others and wanting only the best for them, and for the times "we call envy 'healthy competitiveness.'"

The reflection on wrath also asked forgiveness for anger, animosity, aggressiveness, the desire for vengeance, "the temptation to make those who humiliate us pay" and sharp, cutting remarks made about others.

Asking forgiveness for pride, the prayer also asked God's pardon for times when participants acted only to win praise and approval, for seeking power and fame or for showing off their physical beauty or talents "given to us by God."

"My child, make it known to mankind that penance and confession is a private communication between the confessor, the penitent, and God." - Our Lady of the Roses, December 7, 1976

Our Lady of the Roses' Awesome Bayside Prophecies... https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

TRUE FAITH
"You still have time to make restitution and atonement to save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. You must be an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will learn much by your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973

BE PURIFIED
"When a man has stepped over the threshold and allowed himself to fall into mortal sin, he must be purified by trial, but he must also, My children, be purified by the rule of penance and confession. What manner of evil is being set now upon mankind that compels him to lose his soul by rejecting the Sacraments, by no longer confessing to his confessor, but coming to receive My Son in sacrifice, while his soul is degraded by sin of mortal nature!" - Our Lady, September 7, 1976

MAN OF GOD
"A priest is a man of God, chosen solely from the world to be a representative of the Son of God . . . . As a man of God, he brings to you the Body and Blood of your Savior." - St. Theresa, October 2, 1975

MOCKERY
"Do not make a mockery of the Sacraments in My Son's House. Do not blaspheme in My Son's House. My children, you will bring the wrath of God upon you." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

ACCEPT GRACES
"Each day of your life must begin with prayer and end with prayer. Accept all of the graces that are given to you freely. Do not reject the means given to you through your Sacraments." - Jesus, February 10, 1977

OFFSET EVIL
"My children, you have been given armor. I have repeated over and over and admonished you to wear the sacramentals for a reason. You are fighting a war now with the unseen, the supernatural. In the plan from Heaven there are Sacraments and sacramentals that can offset the evil and protect you and your loved ones from this evil." - Our Lady, November 21, 1977

SEARCHING
"My children, many are turning from your Sacraments--searching for a new world, a world that is abounding with the word love, love! but who knows the true meaning of the word love? How many are willing to sacrifice for this love? How many are willing to starve themselves of their worldly desires, for this love? How many would be willing to give their lives for this love?" - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

RETURN
"Return to the graces of your Sacraments and Holy Church, or condemn yourselves to eternity with Lucifer! Consecrate your home with the Holy Spirit. Use the waters of life to chase the demons from within your homes." - St. Joachim, July 25, 1973

BE AN EXAMPLE
"You still have time to make restitution and atonement to save your children. You must bring them back to the Sacraments. You must be an example of modesty and true faith to them. Children will learn much by your example." - St. Anne, July 25, 1973

PRICELESS HERITAGE
"My children, in your baptism upon earth you have received the road, you have received the keys to the Kingdom. But you do not recognize your priceless heritage, and you cast it aside for a few short years upon earth, gathering the world's treasures and power to yourselves. For what? Each and every one of you with leave upon earth with what you came in with--nothing! Nothing but the merits that you have stored to ransom your soul from purgatory. Nothing but the merits you have gathered to allow you to enter the Eternal Kingdom of happiness and light." - Jesus, December 7, 1978

FOR LIFE
"When a man has given himself, and chosen from out of the world as a priest of his God, he will be a priest for life." - Our Lady, March 18, 1973

A HOLY BOND
"My child, you have been much concerned about the dissolvement of many marriages in your country. It is truly a sad happening among mankind, My child, for it is the hand of Satan reaching in and capturing the souls of many. What God has joined together in holy Matrimony, let no man place asunder. The liberal attitudes now prevalent in My Son's House bring many tears to Our hearts, for they will lead many souls onto the road to hell.
    "Accept your cross, My children, as you struggle through life with your spouse. When you are united in the holy bond of Matrimony, you are responsible for the soul of your spouse. Unto death shall you part and only unto death will you part.
    "Many of Our children have entered onto the wide road to hell and purgatory. And why? Because too few pray for them and they have now fallen into line with many false teachers.
    "When a union in Matrimony is blessed by My Son through a legitimate, legally ordained priest, His representative, no man shall take it upon himself for worldly gain, money, prestige and power to break the tie that has bound them together by Heaven!" - Our Lady, May 15, 1976

GUILTY
"I do not, at this time, intend to point out any individual, but My voice goes out to you, as My Mother; you know if you are guilty of any sins against the Sacraments.
    "There are seven Sacraments commanded of you by Heaven, My children, and you will keep them. You shall not take them apart by using rationality, and modernism, and humanism. This cannot be." - Jesus, June 18, 1987

NEW MODES
"You must not reject the Sacraments in My Church; you must not reject the teachings for new modes of modernism and socialism." - Jesus, June 2, 1979

YOUR FORTIFICATION
"Prayer, and prayer alone, with the graces gained in sacramentals and Sacraments will be your fortification against the agents of hell now loosed in great number upon your earth." - Jesus, March 24, 1973

YOU REJECT
"Through countless years upon your earth, I have cried out in warning to you. O My children, keep your sacramentals about you. Accept and do not reject the Sacraments of My Son's House: Baptism, Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Penance, Extreme Unction, Holy Orders, and Matrimony. And Matrimony, My children-you reject the natural laws of your God. You are substituting a pagan way of life!" - Our Lady, November 1, 1976

COVENANT
"All who have been chosen by the Father to be given the grace of baptism shall have--from that day forward--a covenant with the Lord." - Our Lady, June 15, 1974

CLEANSING OF SOUL
"The young children must be taken by their parents to the temples-the Houses of My Son-throughout your world. They must learn by habit a good example of cleansing of their soul by confession. The good priests of earth, those who have been dedicated and received this consecration from My Son, must take these tender souls and nurture them in their Faith." - Our Lady, November 20, 1975

YOU WILL FALL
"Know, My child, that the heart of the sacrifice is in what you call the Eucharist. You will eat of My Body and drink of My Flesh or you will not have the light within you. You will not have the light within you, but will fall into darkness if you do not eat of My Body and drink of My Flesh." - Jesus, May 22, 1974

COMMUNICATION
"My child, make it known to mankind that penance and confession is a private communication between the confessor, the penitent, and God." - Our Lady, December 7, 1976

There are 4 Things You Must Have to Survive the End Times:

1.) The Douay-Rheims Holy Bible...

"I ask that all who hear My voice will take their Bibles, and if they do not have one, search, but find the right Bible, those printed not after 1965, My children." - Jesus, October 5, 1985
     "You must all obtain a copy of the Book of life and love, the Bible. Do not accept the new mods. Try to find in your bookstores the old Bibles, My children, for many are being changed to suit the carnal nature of man. I repeat, sin has become a way of life." - Our Lady, October 6, 1992
    "I must ask you all to read but a few short chapters a day now, the Book of life and love, your Bible. Knowledge must be gained for all the disciples of My Son, for you will be attacked by scientific minds. But do not be concerned what you will say to them when accosted, for the words will be given to you by the Spirit." - Our Lady, April 10, 1976
    The Douay-Rheims Bible was published in 1899. It is the official Bible of the Roman Catholic Church. Almost all other Bibles have been rewritten by Satan.   See: https://www.tldm.org/directives/d33.htm , https://www.tldm.org/directives/d415.htm and https://www.tldm.org/directives/d182.htm   If you don't have a Douay-Rheims Bible order it now!
