Last night, we went to the Christmas reconciliation service at St. James Cathedral, which we do every year.聽 It鈥檚 a simple service 鈥� there鈥檚 an examination of conscience, a reassuring message from our pastor, we contemplate our shortcomings, we pray, and we are granted general absolution.聽 Our sins are forgiven.

It鈥檚 very effective and humbling. You鈥檙e contemplating the realities of a broken world, feeling remorse for all the times you failed your family and your community.

I鈥檝e been to quite a few penance services, but the feeling of redemption after this one was over the top.

And when we got home 鈥� I have to confess, being Catholic, 鈥� Patti and I broke out the Bailey鈥檚 Irish Cream courtesy of Mr. Sullivan over there and raised a toast to redemption.

It felt especially real last night.
