I had a great confession a few days ago and I blew it again.

Just to let you know, I'm definitely trying not to be legalistic. I did something today that I feel so unproud of, nothing that any of you would not have done, probably. Too sheepish to say it though. It's not TMI. I may ask my priest (or any priest) if I can still get Communion.

ps. I just emailed a priest about this - a good one IMHO. I noticed that his advice after a confession is a lot more thorough than other priests. It can cause a lot of impatience if you're waiting in line of course, but he's someone who won't sugarcoat it - he keeps it real and tells you if it's not a big deal or not. I hope he answers.

For Advent and Lent our priest invites other priests who are good confessors to come to our Church for a day and hear confessions. During Advent I think I went around 8 P.M. and there were still four priests hearing confessions. It keeps the lines short.
