Commit Quote by Francis Quarles
“Tis not, to cry God mercy, or to sit And droop, or to confess that thou hast fail'd: 'Tis to bewail the sins thou didst commit: And not commit those sins thou hast bewail' d. He that bewails and not forsakes them too; Confesses rather what he means to do.”
![“To confess your sins to God is not to tell [God] anything [God] doesn't already know. Until you confess them, however, they are the abyss between you. When you confess them, they become the bridge.” quote by Frederick Buechner](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/ee4/frederick-buechner-883_abyss_to-confess-your-sins-to-god-is-not-to-te_681897.jpg)
![“[each] confess those sins by which he remembers that he has mortally offended his Lord and God; whilst the other sins, which do not occur to him after diligent thought, are understood to be included as a whole in that same confes sion." 6 The last-quoted phrase is of great dogmatic importance…” quote by Joseph Pohle](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/c71/joseph-pohle-3769_quote_each-confess-those-sins-by-which-he-reme_1093453.jpg)
