In the latest Lenten meditation it talks about transparency - being open with one another, no secrets. In the 12-step programs they say that "You are as sick as your sickest secret." What secrets do we need to open up and share with another? We are never truly free until we do. When we keep secrets we always have to be on guard and protective of our secrets. Constantly worrying that we will be found out. An ancient philosopher once said "Know thyself" and "An unexamined life is not worth living." To be rid of secrets and truly free we need to examine ourselves, go deep within and see all the good and all the bad. Truly know ourselves and never have anymore secrets - not from others and most especially not from ourselves. Confession is a great place to be relieved of all of our secrets. Once shared with another person we will know the peace that surpasses understanding.
God bless!!
God's greatest blessing - Children!!
