MGR Papers 4 (Confession)

Q For MGR #4, make sure that you have first done the assigned readings, which includes Jung's chapter plus your choice of one reading on Confession. After reading these chapters, view the corresponding video in the daily schedule. (You may have already done this on the day you studied Confession.) After your exercise of Confession, write a one-page reflection chronicling your experience. Remember to identify Jung's chapter and the one additional author read at the top of your paper. Confession: As you spend a significant amount of time in confession before God, remain open and obedient to a possible prompting from him to confess to a trusted friend or mentor. As you grow sensitive to God's Spirit, follow his lead. If you are so led, don't be surprised if that person, in turn, confesses something to you. Here, you are given an opportunity to be as Christ to that person. Whatever is confessed does not surprise God, neither should it surprise us. Refrain from marginalizing a confession ("Oh, that's okay. Everybody does it.") or trying to "make everything okay." Just be present with each other and know the presence and complete forgiveness of God. For your MGR, you are not required to include the content or matter of your confession, just what your experience with this means of grace was like.

After confessing my past sins to a trusted friend of mine, I had felt relieved about my confession. The heaviness in my heart had disappeared. However, there had been continuation of my repentance to try to become and remain close to God. The spiritual covenant formed between me and Jesus had become renewed. There had been hope that I would be able to see and meet Christ in Heaven in my afterlife. I had experienced being forgiven. However, I had many questions in my mind about my own weaknesses of my flesh.
