Yesterday was my day of recollection and I was able to make my confession. No matter how often I confess, I now try to do so as if it will be my very last confession - for me, it is a great help to making a good confession. Imagining the prospect of death helps to rend one's garments as it were - to the point one stands totally naked before God, without excuse or defense except His saving grace and mercy - which rends the heart in loving contrition.
