After a long pause, the priest in a very sympathetic voice said "My son I absolve you from all your sins. Now say a good Act of Contrition and I give you my blessings" I did as he said. He then concluded with the usual " In the name of the Father,Son & Holy Spirit Go in Peace"<br />I interrupted with "But Father what about my penance". And he swiftly answered " You are married that's penance enough"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-58405102575531268252012-07-28T11:34:52.673-07:002012-07-28T11:34:52.673-07:00What a wonderful story Barb.

The fearsome monsignor who was the pastor of our parish when I was eleven or twelve told the class of a time when he was on a trip and heard confessions at a parish. He didn't speak or understand German. Some penitents confessed in German and the fearsome monsignor told us he understood it all. God had given him the grace to comprehend. He said no matter what, we should always go to confession and God would provide.Barb Schoenebergerhttp://www.sufferingwithjoy.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-21222746267149527822012-07-23T17:44:41.729-07:002012-07-23T17:44:41.729-07:00It was a mortal sin, wasn't it, Mary?
