Confession: is it really enough for Atonement? for Redemption? for Salvation?
Yesterday, a lot of things happened some of which still cling into my mind.. puzzling me, questioning my beliefs and perspective. After the usual classes, i headed right away to the ACIL space to start with the souvenir for the kids. When i arrived a lot of the members were amused with the merchandise i brought. After awhile me, bodi and ivy started working with the bracelets. If i had only met them both before our project i'm sure we could have earned a lot of money :D...
After making around 15-20 bracelets we headed for the area right away. At first i was puzzled to see that all of the kids were missing... it was like, they all disappeared. After searching for quite some time, we were told that the kids were at a party. We headed for the party and found some of them. On our way back, the kids started to appear again... as if they were popping out of thin air. The next thing i know, we were back in the air making a head count and deciding who to give and who would be given next time. I left all of the decision making to Bodi and later on he told me that for the first time he felt power. Before we left the area, i had to make sure that i got the names of those who were not yet given, after that we left the area.
After area it was time to watch kat's and other people from lfc's movie. For some strange reason, kat's film was shown first. At first it was really ok but later on, after the "disturbing" scenes something struck me, like a thought that would not fade... I began to ask myself is confession really enough to purge us from our sins?
this question began to ponder in my mind, asking, seeking, wanting to find an answer. I mean, if we commit a minor offense, surely it can be easily forgiven... but what about more grave affairs, will confession solve the problem? For one thing, there are things that can be forgiven and can never be forgiven. So what then if we commit an act that can no longer be forgiven? Are we then condemned for all eternity...
Too many questions, too few answers... Maybe i should just consult with a priest or counselor to get this over with. With papers due in the coming week, I should concern myself with more pressing matters.. Let the questions "go" for now, study first ponder next time :)
