Not to be confused with Mystery and Manners! Today was a Formation Saturday. Once a month, each class has a formation Saturday in which we spend Saturday morning in formation workshops. These usually help to build up certain virtues in human, spiritual and/or pastoral formation. They are a way for the formation staff to address topics that are important that don't necessarily come up in classes. This particular day was a little different as our class met in the refectory (check your seminary vocabulary sheet, which you should be putting together now: this means dining room) and we discussed etiquette! We covered how to greet people, how to juggle conversations, how to look presentable, and table manners. It was actually a pretty enjoyable time and I definitely learned a thing or two.
After lunch, I went to the sacrament of confession out at the Solanus Casey Center. Many seminarians like to go to there to confession. The Capuchins are there are such great confessors and it is a really amazing place. I adore the Franciscans there.
Reconciliation is such an amazing gift. It really is amazing to think that even though our sins are like scarlet, God makes us whiter than snow through the sacramental graces won in the confessional. God is SO merciful! I am just overcome by just how undeservedly loved I am and how freely giving He is. God is GOOD!
