A family member is planning to attend a Religious Retreat at a local venue. I am reminded of a penitent who visited the shrine of Ste. Anne de Beaupre near Quebec, Canada on a similar mission. Part of the ceremony involved going up a set of steps on one's knees in prayerful meditation. Halfway up his route was blocked by a woman also doing an act of penance. It seemed she had the hem of her skirt caught in the heel of her shoe and she asked him to assist with the entanglement. His reply was "Not me, lady! It's for doing that that I'm doing this!" Mea Culpa!
