I am a sinner who has not confessed in over 40 yrs. I attend mass on Sundays.. This Lenten season I will go to confession. I want to get closer to My Lord and remove this heavy load.
I feel like I am a blend of the Pharisee and the tax collector, definitely a rule follower, often feeling like I am doing empty actions in response to the rules, but I recognize I need more – I need to feel fulfilled with the actions, dig deeper and get closer to God in doing His Will
The comment on what faith is and the follow what this is. I will work with what this message is. doing penance and sacrifices. research and listen and apply

Thank you Bruce for your gentle approach to many of life’s issues. I loved the comment about looking at our heart relationship with God rather than being too focussed on the rules. After all that was what the Pharisees were doing wasn’t it?

Bruce – I am so glad that I found your Lent video series. It is giving much more meaning to the season to me. I enjoy the Catholic ritual of Lent. What is in our hearts is what God wants not just the ritual.

I was touched by the call to humility. No matter how good I may appear there is sin in my life that I must confess. God knows my heart and thoughts.

I am Catholic and todays discussion is the first time I realized that Catholics are rule followers & I get bogged down with “rules” and miss the purpose and reason but mostly the opportunity to grow closer to Hos. Thank you Bruce your approach is so very refreshing

Thank you Bruce for this message today as it really resonated within my heart amd soul… all that I am going through right now. I ask for God’s forgiveness & mercy everyday and declare that I am a sinner and an imperfect human. I also ask him to never leave me and to always protect myself, my family and my home, in spite of all of my shortcomings. Your words today have been said so eloquently and I thank you for that. Have a blessed day…🙏✝️🙏

I too am a sinner but I want to share that your message of God’s forgiveness probably saved my life. I was so desperately shaken from something that occurred and couldn’t believe/trust in God’s love and mercy. I am a Catholic, been to confession, rule follower and one day I slipped. I don’t think I ever learned how wonderful God is in all my years of attending Catholic school and church. I hunger for him and want to serve him faithfully. Thank you and Rosemary for your evangelization

Thank You Bruce for all the work you and your ministry do, this is my second year following you and I have learned so much and was really looking forward to this year Lent, I agree with you that God wants so much more from us, I’ve learned to seek him as a friend, a father, someone I can just sit and talk to, always thought God was disappointed in me because I didn’t follow all the rules, I am Catholic and will be until I die, I have learned a lot from following your daily devotional and will continue… Read more »

Hi Bruce…..I have a question to ask, can a priest deny baptism for her child if the mom is a single mom? Does he have the right to say your child is going to hell because you are a single mom?
Bruce thank you for taking the time to reading the emails or messages and responding. Thank you and God bless
