I thoroughly enjoyed Fr. Richards' talk. It is easy to listen to and is comforting and reassuring to anyone going to confession. I think it is particularly good for newcomers to the Catholic Church.

Fr. Larry has a voice that touches the heart. He is clear, uses examples of everyday life and stories to make his points real. He does not hold back for fear of offending anyone.

Straightfoward, honest, true, heart-warming. Ed - Sammamish

I have always struggled with the Sacrament of Confession, but Fr. Richards explained it in a way that made sense to me. I now know why confession is so important and plan to make it a regular part of my spiritual life. Susan - Fenton, LA

The most beneficial part was the emphasis on Jesus' desire to free us from sin in confession, and the idea that God will punish the sin, but not us, unless we continue to cling to the sin. Even though I go to confession regularly, this talk inspired me to be even more fervent in making an examination of conscience and meeting Jesus in the Sacrament. Ralph

Provided a great process for doing a thorough examination of conscience. Mark - Westminster, MD

Fr. Larry Richards all at once serious, lighthearted, and funny. Confession is a sacrament and a mercy. He invited people to come back to this sacrament and see it for what it is instead of feeling fearful or seeing it as an invasion of privacy - not necessary. It was convicting and inspiring. We loved it and will share it with others. Leslie - Geneseo, NY

Father Larry Richards was real and to the point. He did not sugar coat the topic or bend the views on the subject. He used examples that relate to today's views. He was very sincere and knowledgeable of the scriptures. This CD is a good start to help educate Catholics on the importance of Confession and our Parishes should reinforce this topic. Charles - Cold Spring, NY

The best part was the frankness of fr Larry carmela - KY

Fr. Larry Richards is such an engaging speaker and explains things in such a relatable way. I've listened to this talk more than once and each time have come away with something new to think about. Olivia - Spencer, MA

Fantastic! I enjoyed it immensely and listened to it three times in the first 12 hours I owned it. Great information with regard to the background of birth control and not being open to life. Father Richards has a great, down-to-earth way of teaching people and I hope he continues to do more CDs on all different topics. He deals effectively with difficult topics. I go to confession on a monthly basis and always feel there is more to learn about making a good confession and this CD really helped me in many areas. His topics also helped me understand some of the penances I have been given which makes me realize that many priests think along the same line that Fr. Richards does. That is great news for for me. Thanks, Fr. Richards for all you do and thanks for becoming a priest. You have sacrificed your life for others - it doesn't get any better than that. God bless you! Carla - Green Bay, WI

I enjoyed all of it. Having not being raised in the Catholic Church I was not used to going to Confession, so I found it a bit difficult.

Fr. Larry Richards is a wonderful communicator, and his presentation "Confession" has made me realize the importance of confessing my sins to God on a daily basis. This CD has also been helpful to me in really understanding how much sin hurts our Lord. I recommend this CD highly.
