Slighting your wife and daughter?

I'm sorry to hear that somebody did that (?)--- and sorry to hear of it too, mixed in with publicly pronounced prayer as it is, that is addressed more directly to God the Father, in the name of Christ --- which by-passes going though "Mary" to get there --- which part looks like progress to me.

Carry on, soldier. As you were.

Waaa? Would you rather I slight yours??

I believe James 5:16 says exactly what it means and means exactly what it says - not your own personal interpretation, because it is unscriptural to do as your suggest ‘confess your sins to God’:

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

secondly did you never thoughtlessly or otherwise slight your wife or daughter? - because if you haven’t you are a better man than I am.

In addition, we should examine our conscience DAILY and make an Act of Contrition afterwards:

“Oh my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell, but most of all because I have offended Thee, Oh My God, who art all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve,with the help of Thy Grace to confess my sins, to do penance and to amend my life, Amen.”

BTW, If your haven’t performed 1) a through Examination of Conscience, 2) don’t confess ALL your sins, 3) don’t make the Act of Contrition and 4) don’t attempt to actually amend your life - IT DOESN’T COUNT.

BTW you should try telling your sins to a priest some time - face to face.

For the Greater Glory of God
