Today am talking religion
So, today just happened to be confession day at church. I consider mysef a strong believer(catholic). I hadnt been recieving the holy communion for sometime. So today i challenged myself.
So determined to mend my relationship with christ i headed for church. To prove just how serious i was, I arrive before time. As expected i say a short prayer before joining my colleagues in sin (no offence) on the line to salvation.
So We patiently stand in line to wait for the priest. Every one is quiet as I walk towards the designated place. At this moment am sure amongst the congregation there is a teenager trying to guess the kind of sin this innocent looking guy came to offload.
Some lady the age of my mum is thanking God for gracing the earth with such a God fearing young man, while some mischevious teenager who decided, after being overloaded with sins, to lighten his burden, is cursing the hypocracy out of my good self.
The mood is that of guilt. Everyone guilty as charged in his own heart. Everyone's face as innocent as was born. Old to the young.
Am alowed to confidently say we all have one word in common at the time 'sin'.
The father arrives some minutes later. No one seems to be in a hurry.
One after the other, every one accuses themselves on their knees ready to be forgiven. And as my turn comes i kneel down, bend down my head in shame and unleash my shameful innerself as I say..."Bless me father for I have sinned..."
