The Untapped Power of the Sacrament of Penance: A Priest's View - Softcover
When it comes to sin, no one's an innocent bystander. But do we really need to bring those sins to a priest in the Sacrament of Penance? Why? And what do priests think of the sacrament? Are they bored in the confessional? Distracted? Shocked by what they hear?
As The Untapped Power of the Sacrament of Penance makes clear, priests cherish the sacrament of reconciliation as a powerful movement of God's healing love. If you have abandoned the confessional out of fear or apathy or the conviction that you don't have any "real" sins to confess—or if you are merely a once- or twice-a-year penitent—this book will put you back on track. There's no time like the present to return to this remarkable source of God's mercy and grace.

Review:
...a thoroughly interesting and practical manual on sacramental confession and absolution. It should help many readers to see the enduring value of the sacrament of penance for a fully Catholic life and thus contribute to the revival of this unduly neglected channel of grace. --+Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J.
...a treasure of theological and spiritual wisdom. Fr. Walsh presents the sacrament of penance as a precious gift from a compassionate God and urges all who seek true sanctity in their lives to avail themselves of it frequently. --+Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York
...[Walsh] invites even the most wary sinner to true conversion in Christ Jesus and to experience anew Christ's healing presence in the sacrament. This popular work will assist catechists and priests alike as they prepare a lesson for teenager or adult or for use with catechumens and candidates for reception into full communion. --Rev. Msgr. Kevin C. McCoy, S.T.D., Rector, Pontifical North American College
