Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been three days since my last confession.

Three days? How many sins could you have committed in three days? Come back when you have more time, please.

Excuse me?

Listen, señorita… Please, go on.

I have broken the fourth commandment, padre.

You killed somebody?

No, that is not the fourth commandment.

Of course not. Tell me, in what way did you break the most sacred of commandments?

I dishonored my father.

That is not so bad. Maybe your father deserved it.

What did you say?

I said, tell me more, my child.

Well, I try to behave properly, the way my father would like me to. But I’m afraid my heart is too wild.

Too wild?

Yes.

Could you be… a little more specific?

I had impure thoughts about a man.

Uh huh.

I did- I think he was a bandit or something. He wore a black mask.

He had a deep voice.

Yes.

Ruggedly handsome?

I do not know, his face was half covered. But something in his eyes captured me.

Captured you?

I felt warm and feverish.

Lustful?

Yes, lustful… forgive me.

I forgive you.

Look over there, by the altar!

Search everything! The chapel, the loft, the rectory, all of it.

This is a house of God.

Don’t worry Padre, we’ll be gone by the time he gets back.

Señorita, you have done nothing wrong. The only sin would be to deny what your heart truly feels. Now go.
