I went to confession for the very first time last week. I was terrified but it turned out that it wasn't so bad. I know the priest so he isn't that scary. He is about my age so I don't see him as a father figure or a child.
So what is the problem? I have discovered this thing called Catholic Guilt. The blessing and penance just wasn't enough.
Why?
That is the easy part. I am a spanko and have been in a dd relationship to long.
I talked it over with Dragon and he came to the same conclusion that I did. I need the physical correction. Not necessarily a punishment but something to clean my self conscious.
Next time I go to confession, I'll do my penance from the priest. I'll say my prayers and then I'll face Dragon. He will be fair but he knows what my heart needs.
Love my Dragon just a little.
Catholic guilt was instilled in me by nuns and it's still there even though I don't consider myself Catholic anymore.
ReplyDeleteI never was in Catholic School but I think the protestant version I was in was bad enough. Yikes.
DeleteA good impact scene will take care of my guilt.
Must have been Southern Baptist
DeleteIndependent or Southern. I was to young. All I remember is terror. I got sick on the way to school every day.
DeleteHey Rose...gotta love that 'guilt trip'. So happy your Dragon knows what you need. Oh and I do believe your Dragon loves you 'a bit' also. LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings...

The church talks about guilt quite a bit and to let go of it. Limit confession to once a month. I have always been hard on myself. I guess that I was hoping for an easy button. No luck though. I think my reset button is on my backside.
DeleteI'll have to hand the paddle to Dragon. He is a bit distracted right now but he will get the idea.
