Nov 2013

I am Catholic, and pray the Confiteor and believe those words, and try to conform to the rules of my God and church as best I can.
I do believe especially the words -"in what I have failed to do", as I believe that is a serious failing of mine and of many others.
My personal prayers are for the strength and energy to do what I can and need to do to be available for whomever needs my support, help, and assistance.
I am a senior who no longer has the desire to sin actively - I'm old enough to know that sinful actions would only complicate my life.
I go to confession about once a year and have to rely mostly on "what I failed to do", aside from occasional anger, annoyance, etc.
