Luther And Katharina (2015)
“Forgive me my sins.
Katharina unrolled the crinkled paper, her only possession of any value.
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins. Maybe if she prayed through the Act of Contrition often enough and did penance, God would truly forgive her for what she was about to do.
She smoothed the paper on her lap and fingered the fading ink. And if He didn’t forgive her, she could always rely on her indulgence for help. Her mother’s hands had trembled when she’d ...given it to her. Her voice had been a mere whisper when she’d instructed her to keep it with her always so that someday they could see each other in heaven. If she was making the wrong choice—if she was sinning by consummating her relationship with Jerome—then surely the indulgence would keep her from condemnation.
Hurried footsteps clunked on the balcony outside the room in the servants’ quarters that Margaret shared with her sister, Eva. Katharina rolled the indulgence and stuffed it into her pouch.MoreLess
