I bet lots of people don't know what the various garments are.<br /><br />The only part of the wonderful homily I will disagree with is where you say, "Sorry, but no!" about the need for confession as a personal act. This nothing to be sorry about! Imagine that *I* went to the doctor and everyone in the waiting room called out his symptoms and illnesses at once. Instead, I get to go to the Doctor and get one-on-one very personal attention and a little discussion about my situation and if I tell all of the symptoms, and take my medicine, I AM HEALED. How good is that? It's enough to make you want to go around telling everybody about it. Of course this darn cold tends to come back. If I watch for it, though, I can fight it off with the help of the medicine I was given and, any time I need to, I can back and get healed again. WOW!rcghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00661998350597126663noreply@blogger.com
