In this episode of The Lenten Path, Kate invites us into a heartfelt reflection on thanksgiving and the beauty of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Through the tender memory of accompanying her granddaughter to her first confession, Kate explores the joy and freedom that come from encountering God’s mercy.

Drawing inspiration from Psalm 32—"Blessed is the one whose fault is removed, whose sin is forgiven"—Kate reminds us that confession is not about shame, but about returning home. She shares a powerful insight from Fr. Mike Schmitz, who describes the confessional as the most joyful, humbling, and inspiring place in the world—a sacred space where God’s love always wins.
