My Last Confession
“His mother hadn’t encouraged any kind of faith. She’d sent him off to a nondenominational boarding school as soon as she could, leaving him to seek comfort in success, rather than in God. But after Krissie spoke to him about forgiveness, Jeremy realised he wanted and needed the non-judgemental confidence of another.
So Father Moscardini visited Jeremy every day after the terrible low that had caused him to try and squeeze the air from his own lungs. He sat in the interview room in the hall ...and listened as Jeremy talked about seemingly irrelevant things, like his work, music and cookery. The priest was a sensible, kind man, and he didn’t freak Jeremy out with Bible talk.Neither did he rush him.‘When you’re ready, we can talk about the harder things,’ Father Moscardini said. ‘There’s no hurry.’At the same time each day, Jeremy spent an hour talking about ‘easier things’, like falling in love with Amanda, feeling safer and calmer each time. After a while, Jeremy began to realise he wasn’t alone, he wasn’t evil, and he wasn’t unworthy.MoreLess
