As we are well in to the Knightschool week of courage we have done confessions, it is remarkable how hard it can be to confess. Everyone of the squires (self included) wrestled with the “What will they think of me, how can I ever look them in the eyes again?” thought. It strikes me that this is a very human condition, a stubborn refusal to accept our own humanity.

We tend to think of the church as a congregation of saints and that I am the only bad apple in the bunch, the only one who sins, the only one who doesn’t measure up. When in fact we may be better helped by thinking that {{we are a congregation of sinners aspiring to holiness.}} Sometimes we make it, sometimes we fail….

At times when we hover around on our little clouds of holiness, polishing our halo maybe we should do like Jesus, become human. Get real see ourselves and othhers for what they are and start helping each other towards a better self instead of pretending that we got it all together.
