What do you value so much that if you lost it, you would do everything possible to find it?
God`s Grace. Being at peace with Our Lord so that`s why the possibility of confession is such a precious gift that God gave us. Couldn`t live wehre I had no access to that box and hence I would despair If I could not have access to a Catholic church or a Father. Relating to which - what did the desert Fathers do relating to confession? Solitude with God is something precious that everyone should seek - so I also couldn`t bear losing the possibility of accessing the internal mountain of prayer - but that question remains.

Now all the tax
collectors and sinners were coming close to him to hear him. The Pharisees and the scribes
murmured, saying, "This man welcomes sinners, and eats with
them."
He told them this
parable. "Which of you men, if you had one hundred sheep, and lost
one of them, wouldn't leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go
after the one that was lost, until he found it? When he has found it, he carries
it on his shoulders, rejoicing. When he comes home, he calls
together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me,
for I have found my sheep which was lost!' I tell you that even so there
will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over
ninety-nine righteous people who need no repentance.
