In Confession we find Christ, says St Josemaria Escriva

Confession is the sacrament of Gods forgiveness. In it, says St Josemaria, we find Christ, who is both father and mother.
God the Creator is marvelous, creating everything out of nothing. God the Redeemer fills us with love and gratitude. But a God who forgives? Only mothers and fathers know how to forgive. Fathers make a face, a little bit like this, right? But their heart is almost always softer than a woman's. So in Confession we find Christ, who is both father and mother, who forgives and also enkindles us and strengthens us so that we don't fall again. And if we do fall again, he forgives us again, and helps us again, and strengthens us again. My children: resolve to go to the Sacrament of Penance frequently.
