In this Bible/adult study, Mr. Anthony Ally unpacks the Orthodox understanding of confession as a sacrament of healing and restoration—not merely a listing of wrongs, but a return to the loving embrace of the Father. Rooted in Scripture and the practice of the early Church, confession is shown to be a gift that frees the soul from the weight of sin and renews our communion with God and neighbor. We explore how humility, honesty, and repentance open the heart to grace, and how the priest stands not as a judge, but as a witness to God’s mercy.
