Wrote Novena
Wrote a Novena
Novena is a nine days prayer
Novena for the abortion
Novena about my friends
Gave Sister (Sr.) Norma
Following Sunday, she looks sick
Asked if she read the Novena I wrote
She got overwhelmed
She didn't say I'm a sinner
Her words said it
Told me need a confession
Confession for what
Novena I wrote is sinful
Those are lives of my friends
Reason why they don't like Church
Very sensitive
She asked why I call Jesus Father Christ
No buts and ifs
Suppose to say because He is a Priest
What is Eternal God
I call Him that because He told me to
Said to go to a priest
Confessed
My words hurt
Words are true
Truth Hurts!
