## Resource

Father Dave answers a listener's question about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Joe says, "I take advantage of the Sacrament of Reconciliation one to two times a month, but my wife doesn't understand why I go so often and feels upset by it. What would be the best way to point my wife to God's saving grace through Confession without pushing her? She had a bad experience in Confession with a priest who admonished her and questioned her abilities as a mom."
