“Emendatio” Poem, by Gary Edward Geraci, at My poetic side

I let her know when I go to confession,

Its frequency alone should tell her I’m a

Great sinner in need of her constant prayer.

But why risk it; I ask for her copious prayers.

The vow: a vocation to married life,

The sins: for the ears of the Confessor,

The amends: a spiritual director,

The Sacraments: the daily medicine,

The fulcrum on which my salvation balances.
