"If I were to ask all of you what you think about when you go to Confession," he said, you would answer, "our sins." But sins are not really the center of Confession, the Pope explained. Our Father, who forgives everything, is at the center. "We do not go to Confession to be punished and humiliated, but as children who run toward the Father’s loving arms," said the Pope. "I will give you a little piece of advice," he said: "After each Confession, sit still for a few moments in order to remember the forgiveness you received."
