The holier the confessor, the easier to confess.
"The holier the confessor the gentler he is, and the less he is scandalized at other people's faults, because he understands man's weak condition better." - John of the Cross
I would love to make my confession - hourly if need be - to St. Peter of Alcantara. What John of the Cross says is very true. I have experienced it. However, I have sought out confessors with a reputation for holiness, or great prayer, and they were very much scandalized by my sins. I could never return to them. I return to confession - frequently - just not to them. Never be afraid to go to confession - no matter who or what. (Don't over think it.)
Anyway - happy feast day to all those devoted to St. Peter.
