Do you try to get to the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Advent/Lent?

I went to Confession last night for our Advent Day of Grace and was disappointed by the poor turnout. When I went to it a few years ago, I recall there being quite a few people. And they had three Priests hearing Confessions.

I’m glad I went though. Advent is a wonderful time to go. It humbles the pride I have built up throughout the year and really puts things into perspective. Jesus is the reason for the season (cliché, but true).

Generally, yes, though I tend to go when I know I have something to confess. If it’s shortly before Advent or Lent, I might not go again soon unless I have something to say.
