What a pain I have in my heart.
I have made a commitment to Christ, to practice the presence of God.
Of course I have not done well.
I have failed, been distracted.
Thought of other things, entertained vain thoughts and dreams.
I have held and said uncharitable things.
I have entertained lust.
I feel pain that I have failed.
For the first time in all my fifty three year catholic life I feel a real need for confession. I MUST confess my failure. My sin has washed away any good I have done. I feel the weight of my sin, it is like a dark shadow, between me and God. This is new to me and I do not like it.
Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, only say the word and I shall be healed.
