Confession

God is everpresent, lest one have a lapse of memory; He is omnipotent and omniscient, and a guardian of the Internet.

If, after all, he sees a sparrow fall, hears the tree crashing in the forest that no one else is aware of, why be surprised that he is present on the Internet? Ever aware when needed by his flock, he has granted his intermediaries the franchise of acting on his behalf on the World Wide Web.

And they are prepared, by electronic means, to reach into the ethernet to grasp the words: "Bless me Father, for ihave sinn'd".

Universal he may be, but as close as your neighbourhood Salvation Army Thrift Shop. Or your iPhone, your iPad, come to think of it. Dial God with full trust that he is aware of your travails, and will forgive your sins.

Be glad at heart that God has no wish to capitalize on his monopoly, but offers his services through those of his shepherds who are brightly eliterate at a reasonable charge of $1.99. Think of it as the indulgences sold by his messengers in days long gone.

"Confession: a Roman Catholic APP" awaits your need.

Inspired by the Pope's message urging Christians to make use of digital media on the auspicious occasion of World Social Communications Day, Little iApps developed this sacred tool so that all could convey to the Lord word of their sins, and ask for absolution.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

As an authentic penitent, you will be blessed. Overlooked, your lapses in heeding the word of the Almighty. You cursed? forgiven. You threatened? forgiven. You coveted? forgiven. You engaged in thievery? forgiven. You resorted to murder? uh, forgiven. You took the name of the Lord in vain? blaspheming sinner!

When the urge becomes irresistible, do not resist; submit, recant, confess. And be blessed.
