Article: Pope: There's an Answer to Empty Confessionals
I am not sure how things are around the world, but where I live in the United States, the Sacrament of Penance is only available for one hour per week. If for some reason I cannot go that hour, I am out of luck.
Considering the importance of this sacrament, I hope and pray that many priests will listen to the words of the Holy Father and follow the example of St. John Mary Vianney and make confession more readily available.
