I have made 2 confessions! Believe me, this was a BIG hurdle, but I did it, and am very thankful that I did!
Funny story - our great old ironclad Irish priest was shaking hands after Mass, and I asked him, "Monsignor . . . I need to come to confession, should I make an appointment?" "Ah, just come at the usual time," said he, in that inimitable Irish brogue. "Well - it's going to be the Mother of All Confessions, because I've got 42 years' worth to deal with." "No problem, the usual time will be fine - " with an adumbrated wink " - we have very few sinners in this parish."
Another funny story - I made a list, naturally, with 42 years' worth (not counting the seven years I was technically incapable of sin). I heard about an old lady who got into the confessional, looked at her list, saw "Hamburger. Milk. Celery." and exclaimed loud enough to be heard in the aisle, "Oh my heavens! I left my sins in the A&P!"
