Colleagues of
mine returned from World Youth Day in Sydney with amazing stories — and the
most amazing are the stories of the sacramental grace.
Father Michael Sliney and other
Legionary priests estimate that they heard 1,000 confessions. Laypeople from
the Regnum Christi movement helped facilitate the process.
“It was an incredible experience.
I’d never seen anything like it or been part of anything like it,” said Nick
Lulli, 18, in an interview for Legionaries.org. “You’d spend three to five
minutes just talking to one person about why they should go to confession.
They’d be kind of reluctant at first, but then they’d come out crying and
thanking you. Then they would help you promote confession.”
This is one of the most gratifying
experiences a priest can have: helping give souls the grace they need to come
back to life in Christ.
