An old friend from my collage days introduced me to Abbott Tryphon and his wisdom. Check him out at his blog: http://www.morningoffering.blogspot.com/ or at his Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/All-Merciful-Saviour-Orthodox-Christian-Monastery
Abbot Tryphon
In Confession we Humble Ourselves before Another Person. It is only out of delusion we believe we do not need others to see, understand, and treat our spiritual sickness. Anyone who believes that he alone can cure his spiritual diseases has isolated himself from a Mystery of the Church and will come to ruin. Only with the help of others are we saved, for within the Christian faith, salvation comes not in a self-focused void, but in the collective nature that is the Church. The Mystery of Confession, established by Our Lord, is a clear sign of the biblical truth that we need the Church, and we need the Mystery of Confession.
