Today I will go to confession.
This morning I made a thorough examination of conscience, using as my guide the 10 commandments and 7 deadly sins. Even though two weeks has elapsed since I last went to confession, sins have a tendency to pile up, if you know what I mean.
Last night, my wife and I finished watching the movie, "Collision." We both enjoyed this BBC drama. In my opinion the theme of the movie was how one person's decision to act or decision not to act can cause a chain of events that affect the lives of others.
Is this not how sin works? So many people believe that sin is personal. They don't see how the sins they commit, affect others. When you commit sin it is like taking a stone and throwing it into the middle of a pond. Once the stone hits the water it causes a ripple effect. This same principle applies to sin.
Let us stop fooling ourselves and realize that sin affects not only ourselves, but others and even more importantly affects Jesus, who died on the cross for our salvation.
God bless.
