Yes.do you practice?
IMO, yes.and how is it good for the soul?
I like the way you word this. We are habitual creatures, programming ourselves with both good behaviors and bad behaviors. The habituating mechanism doesn't select between good and bad. It only seeks for patterns to repeat. It doesn't judge the value of it. That's for another part of ourselves. That's the will and choice.Dishonesty is habit-forming. And over time it tends to become problematic. Confession is a very useful tool in breaking that habit because no one likes having to confess their dishonesty. And so to avoid having to confess it, most people would rather just be honest in the first place.
I couldn't quite pick "You seem relieved" because I'm able to know my sensations/feelings enough to know whether it 'seems' or simply 'is so' -- to distinguish. But even "You are relieved" wouldn't quite be the thing, exactly. It's more like...ok, I'll tell you, I'm flooded with love that is so much. That is, to a greater degree than one can get from another person here, even in the most warm moment with another person here. And that's not precisely from a 'practice' in the sense of a routine. I confess when I'm guilty basically. It could be several times in one day, but not often, and often there can be a day or 3 without. So, it's not a routine.do you practice?
and how is it good for the soul?
Mere confession before a priest for the sins is no good. Jesus never did it nor he instructed others to do it. But Jesus was never a Christian, Jesus was a Jewish Rabbi, so naturally Christians have differences with Jesus which the Christians are not ready to even out every after 2000 years. Right, please?do you practice?
