Well, we are all clean-the whole family went to confession last night. Mrs. Curley proposed that we try to go as a family as often as possible, so we all can start together with a clean slate. Before we moved to Bethune, we did this often. Occasionally, we even went to confession together on a Saturday afternoon and then for ice cream to celebrate.
These days though, we have tended to go to confession at separate times. Our pastor has confessions on Saturday afternoons, but often has been know to say, "I'm available for confession anytime you see me and I'm still walking around." We have taken advantage of this.
But there is something to be said for Mrs. Curley's suggestion. Especially during the close of Lent (or Advent), it is well that the whole family is preparing together with their sorrow for sins.
(And what's with the title of this post? I was going to write about something else, but this came out. So I will leave the title anyway...)
