To: rwa265; Mark17

I don’t know Mark and never have, but I was also taught....

“Bless me father for I have sinned. My last confession was ______.”

Then I’d go on to list the sins.

Unfortunately, I needed a ream of paper to remember all my mortal sins. If I was still there today, I would probably keep track of my sins on my IPhone 6 😇

I was fortunate that the nuns who taught us about confession felt it was very important for us to understood that it was not the priest who forgave our sins, but that it was God, acting through the priest, who forgave our sins.
