I was thinking the other day that maybe God is trying to teach me patience with my foot. I certainly don't have any. And I guess the same thing would apply to my husband's diagnosis - I'm terribly impatient about that also.
I have been going to mass which has helped me a lot but today I found out I shouldn't have been going because a lot of things I didn't know about are mortal sins that I need to confess before I take communion. Taking communion when you have an unconfessed mortal sin is a mortal sin too. So now I need to make an appointment to meet with my priest for confession and no more mass until I go. Being a Catholic can be complicated.
I am still doing pretty well with my spiritual disciplines. I have skipped my stomach exercises for 2 days now though. I also need to look at my DVDs to see if any of them have floor exercises I can do until my foot gets better.
I am going to try to catch up on my buddies journals tomorrow and try to get back into all my routines. I haven't studied my languages in days but I have kept up with my spiritual activities. I have even remembered to pray on my knees a few days.
Tomorrow I'll make my appointment for Confession, Tuesday my husband has his tests and Wednesday I go back to the doctor about my foot. Friday my husband goes back to the neurologist for his test results. I did OK with my food today.

Hi how is it when you are trying to mind yrsel it like a flood gate opens up and lots of things need to be done??? Good luck to you and hubby on yr medicial things?/ About confession, a priest told me before that if you truely are sorry for what you have done, go into the church and chat directly to God, you will be forgiven. Yrs ago I also spoke to the Bishop and he said the same. I never go to confession, I do go and have my chats with God. The laws have changed in the church but if You and only YOU feel its the thing to do to help you and give you inner peace,I wish you the best with it. Remember its God forgives you and since we were kids we were told he knew all we did and if we were really sorry or just lip service. (reading yr journal again) you can go to mass and into a church even if you kill someone. I think the church you belong to must be a very old strict church. Even here in Ireland, which is so Catholic, everyone and anyone, no matter what religion is welcome in.

Andrea, you are allowed to go to church without confession, just not allowed to take communion. Pleasae do not allow that to derail your spiritual progress. Continue ot go, and when you get the chance for confession, then go. But as Carmel said, we are truly confessing to our Father, not the priest, so if you tell God that you are sorry, ask for forgivness, and truly mean it, then your sins are forgiven. God is a loving and forgiving God, and He knows the hearts of His children. If you have repented your sins, and have ask GOD to forgive you, then they have been forgiven!! Take care, friend.
