Top 10 good things this week
This is a place of shared pain and mutual understanding. It is a place for learning and teaching and never needing to be alone. This is a place of fearsome memories and of worship at the alter of the God of Hope.
When I was a kid I use to go to confession every Saturday. Id tell the priest all of the bad things I had done. I had to make up a lot of it because I wasnt a bad kid. I stopped doing that when the abuse started. Havent been to Saturday confession since I was 9 years old. Now I feel like going back. But this time I dont want to make up sins that I didnt commit. This time I want to confess to the good I did for myself and others. The Sacrament of Confession begins with a prayer recited to the priest. This one is a little different.
Forgive me friends for I have sinned. With all of my heart, I am sorry. I ask your forgiveness if I have offended you. I seek you guidance that I may never sin against you again. Accept me even as you would accept yourselves, and keep me always in your prayers. In your honor I have done these things for the betterment of myself as compensation for the wrongs that I have done. Amen
1) I pickled peppers. And they are really quite good with Colby cheese.
2) I forgave a friend for a small offense.
3) I ate lightly at lunch every day.
4) I went to bed on time every day. I didnt always sleep well, but at least I gave myself a chance.
5) I went to work every day and did more than was asked or expected of me.
6) I thought about someone elses problems more than I thought about my own.
7) I took some good advise.(thanks guys!) And tried to return the favor.
8) I didnt lose my temper.(several times!)
9) I made a few people laugh.
10) I stayed alive.
Now, for you other Catholics out there, dont give me any crap but I am only going to say this once!
Hail Mary...
