PRIMVS ✠ Secretly your weird Catholic aunt on Facebook

Holy Week has begun, the time of Christ's divine Passion and Resurrection. Today is Palm Sunday, the day our Lord was welcomed into Jerusalem like a king, in full knowledge that many of those who cheered for him would soon be screaming out for his death. Yet he still chose to take on the burden of their sins, and of ours. He chose to forgive. For those of you who are part of the Church and have not yet done so, I encourage you to come and celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation during this final week of Lent, and to experience Christ's infinite forgiveness and love. I know that some find it difficult to speak their heart to a priest even in the best of times, but I hope that by my own sharing in the strange and often upsetting experiences associated with this social network, I can offer to you a uniquely sympathetic ear. The Seal of the Confessional is still absolutely inviolate, even if one is not completely sure of the source or nature of the sins that one is confessing. Our Lord who knows all things in fullness will understand, even if we do not. To those of you not in communion with the Church, I offer my blessing and pray that you find peace and comfort during this beautiful season of spring. My thoughts are with all of you as we walk together beneath this, our own peculiar veil of shadow.

[ooc: Those who want to take Karl up on his offer can hit up his IC inbox and/or contact me at randomarticle or Spinel#3440 on Discord! Non-Christian characters are welcome to ask him for a private chat too, of course, it's just that the Seal of the Confessional won't apply.]

I think so too! It's just too bad that some people shy away from that just because you have a religious affiliation I wonder if there could be some way to get people to be more open about that... or, you know, let them know that you're here to help in general posts to the app are nice but they get lost in the shuffle so easily
