Guilt

[libraryofbabel]

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

I cannot fix all of this. Can I trust in those I taught to teach others? I don't know that I can. But if I were a human, I would have to let go, eventually, whenever my life ended. I wonder if I've gotten too used to the years stretching ahead of me.
