My oldest two will be having their First Penance this Friday. I'm sooooo nervous. I know they know their stuff. I know they're ready, but I'm really nervous. I worry about my son who has autism and whether he'll be able do this. I worry that he will start asking the priest whether he has sinned.   

Can you pray for them?

You got it, KC! Friday is The Most Holy Name of Mary. I'm sure that she'll watch over them carefully.

Praying, KC. I think we all worry that our dear children will say some unusual things...but it doesn't happen...

May you find peace and happiness knowing that your dc are reconciled to God in this wonderful, healing sacrament!

Thank you, everyone! Can I tell you that I'm extremely nervous? Even more than they are? Sigh.

They did it! Oh, it was so nice to see their smiling faces when they came out. I was a nervous wreck, but it seems they weren't. Father Richard is so wonderful.
