Bless Me for I Have Sinned Digital image |
Artist Statement: The definition of Sin can run the gamut from breaking the Ten Commandments, to just doing mean deeds, to estrangement from God, For me, the sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most powerful of all the sacraments. It’s interesting to me, that when the rite is performed by someone NOT ordained, that the Spirit plays the pivotal role in bestowing the grace of forgiveness.
