Busy day...
Too busy of a day to make a post...
Among other things, I've been working through an error I made: I goofed on the starting time for this Friday's DC Hood game versus Holy Redeemer in Kensington.
The game will start at 6 pm, not at the time it was previously advertized (7 pm). The game will be played on the outdoor court at Holy Redeemer - 9705 Summit Avenue
Kensington, MD 20895.
Please spread the word about the time change. Hope to see you there!!

ooo, sorry to hear that FG, hope things are nice and calm tomorrow.
What do you do if you did something a long time ago that you never thought was sinful but now you think it may have been? Do you confess it now even if you have been to confession many times since and recived communion?
I am very confused. I know that if you forget something you intended to confess, its ok and its forgiven but this I don't know about. And what about all the times I recived communion?
I could be really really wrong, but I think you confess whatever it is as soon as you are aware of it being sinful. In order for it to qualify as a mortal sin you have to have full knowladge.
I know when I 'came back' to the church there were things that I had done that I didn't think were sinful and didn't confess at the time, I thought I was justified in doing certian things to people who had hurt me. It took a while to work through some stuff and see some of my actions tward these people as just as sinful as thier actions towards me. And I am still working through some things that happened to me and I am sure there are more things that I will come to see about myself during that period in my life... when those things do come up I will deal with them. The hardest thing to do, well for me atleast, is not to beat yourself up about something.
Anyone: if I am wrong on this, please correct me.
Fr.-

I did some things a long time ago that I did not think were sinful(but now know they were). Yes, you definately confess it! Sin has to freely chosen........at the time you sounded uncertain if you even knew you were sinning (same for me). I learned later that some of my actions were sins and confessed them years later. I don't think I was receiving communion unworthily because when I committed those actions I did not know/think of them as sins.
Hey I am no theologian, but the priest who I confessed to.....seemed to think it was the right thing to do.
Sleep well, Father Greg. Hope your day off is relaxing and rejuvenating.
