The Act of Contrition: What an ego boost!
At the risk of sounding irreverent, something occured to me the other day. The Act of Contrition goes like this:
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin.
Can you imagine some 500 million people a year, saying that to you? If someone came to me and said, "Ono, I am heartily sorry for having offended you and detest all my sins against you. . . you are all-good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve to avoid offending you again." What a rush, just thinking about that.
Well, that's why I/we are not God. If I were God, I'd be out of control. Put's God in perspective, doesn't it?
