Here’s an interesting thing our priest told me today. I asked him if I had committed a sin with something I did. What I did wasn’t entirely bad but it was classified as a sin by the Church. So my conscience was a bit disturbed by it so decided to turn to a priest.

So I explained to him what I did and I asked him if it was a sin. To my relief he said that what I did was not a sin, although it went against Church teachings the intention to commit a sin on my part was not present.

That’s a relief. Nice to see that ignorance of the Church Law does not make one liable for a crime against your faith. Of course if I repeated it, then it would be a sin.

Oh God, I beg two favors from you;
Let me have them before I die.
First, help me never to tell a lie.
Second, give me neither poverty nor riches!
Give me just enough to satisfy my needs.
For if I grow rich, I may deny you and say, “Who is the Lord?”
And if I am too poor, I may steal and thus insult God’s holy name.
