Poetry On Odyssey: Reconciliation - A Blessing From Our Savior

This poem is based on the sacrament of Reconciliation (a.k.a. Confession). My brother just received his first confession and his first Holy Communion and there seemed no greater time to show this poem than now. This poem is meant to show the significance of Christ's passion and Resurrection and what that does for us.

Christ died for our sins and gave us the opportunity to one day be with him in heaven. To do so, some things we need to do, are picking up our cross daily, having a relationship with him (take time to pray), and be repentant for our sins. Most of all, through the sacrament of Reconciliation, we truly see and experience the power of forgiveness and the freedom of the love and mercy of Jesus Christ, our savior.

Reconciliation - A Blessing From Our Savior

I make the sign of the cross

I kneel to say my prayers

Feeling sorry for my sins

I bow my head in shame

Searching evermore for forgiveness

Then I begin

Where do I begin?

I beg for forgiveness

Knowing nothing can hide my shame

Owning up to all my sins

Sending out a silent prayer

I make the sign of the cross

Should I cover my shame?

He already knows my sins

I can begin

He gives forgiveness

So I'll pray

Remembering the cross

He bore our sins

Showing us forgiveness

He bore my shame

We have today to pray

Let us begin

With the sign of the cross

He rose after the cross

Taking away our shame

Forgetting our sins

Bringing Forgiveness

Let us begin

Let us pray

Absolved of our sins

Doing away with shame

We have forgiveness

So now we pray

We now begin

To understand the cross

Now we pray

Releasing our sins

Remembering the cross

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
