• Confessions

by Matthew A. Koswenda As a child what I feared most was confession. Being a Catholic and going to all Catholic schools through college I was subjected to religious instruction, and addi­ tional instruction from my parents. I was always afraid going to confession the nuns marchedus there and lined us up. I always tried to get an "easy priest." In line I remembered that the nuns told us that you couldn't lie because God knew; and everyone would know our sins at the last judgment because everyone would be there to hear our lists of sins read. I was afraid the people outside would hear or that the priest would recognize my voice. Because then everytime he saw me he's be thinking I know what that little to the Editor creep does. I felt guilty about whatever I did and if I got a mean priest who lectured me I was upset. The old pastor yelled in the confessional-You Sin_c�ely yours had bad thoughts about Lassie!!? What are you crazy?" Mohammed NI. Far90SJi I would try and run my big sins before a bunch of small ones to get off easy.
