I found out about a video contest about the Sacrament of Confession via Headline Bistro today, so I checked out some of the videos that have been submitted and they're pretty good. According to this press release, the Archdiocese of New York, the Diocese of Brooklyn and the Diocese of Rockville Centre are hosting this contest to promote "Reconciliation Monday":
This campaign is in support of Reconciliation Monday, which will be celebrated on April 18, when the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Confession or Penance) will be available between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. in every parish in the three dioceses.
The dioceses have put up a website called http://www.i-confess.com/ to promote this all as well. Please be sure to go to Confession especially during Lent as this is a special time of penance. I love this statement by Bishop Murphy of the Diocese of Rockville Centre:
Completely convinced as I am of the beauty and the awesome grace that this sacrament gives us, I invite you in the name of Jesus Christ, to avail yourself of this sacrament. This is the place where we always meet God in his total and unbounded love expressed through His own forgiveness of all our sins. Please come to the sacrament, especially this Lent and experience the peace that comes from being bathed in God’s merciful love.
