Confession: An Attempt At Honesty
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. My last true confession has never occurred.
Father, I have committed the mortal sin of lying to a receptical of the Lord, in the name of truth. I have given a partial confession of venial sins and taken false penitence under the context of mortal sins.
I have denied God and his son, and placed my faith in the false teachings of hatred which originated in my belly, and used false faith to deny myself self truths.
I despair the mercy of God, and have attempted to hide by sheltering amongst other faceless souls of purgatory.
I have taken profane use of God’s name in my speech, in weak attempt to find blame anywhere else other than self.
I have broken all vows to the promise of love; to myself and to those around me who have given their love.
I have not honored the holy days by being inattentive and commiting a perpetual state of auto flagellation, because I have not been able to see past my own hands.
I have neglected true prayer by only whispering blame and hatred and self pity in the name of Christ.
I have been deceptive to those who have stood before me; those who have given their love and assistance and time.
I have abused my own bodily health and considered suicide. I have been angry, envious, proud, manoulative, revengeful, conceited, ungrateful, and have not forgiven others nor myself.
I have discrimated against others for pleasure and love of false vanity. I have not been chaste in my thought or my word.
I have committed self sexual gratification and not used the sexual act of marriage only for procreation.
I have stolen physical items, and lied about stealing and attempted to steal the attention of others.
I have spoken ill of other people who care about me. I have spoken ill of myself. I have never told the truth, and denied the truth to myself. I have kept secrets and broken confidences.
I have permitted the sexual and impure thoughts of one to whom I am unmarried.
I have desired what belongs to those around me. I have wished ill on another. I have not been faithful to sacramental living and have not made my community stronger and holier. I have not contributed to the support of my home.
I have denied my true self, out of fear.
I am sorry for these and all the sins of my past life. I firmly resolve, with your grace, to do penance and amend my life. Amen.

Darling, that’s all Tuesday. You are not forgiven. 13 Our Fathers and that if it’ll make you feel better. Otherby, come back when you’ve got something real to give.
