William Percy, a poet who lived in the early 20th century, tells of an incident from his teenage years. A Roman Catholic, he was strongly religious and had thought seriously of becoming a priest.
One afternoon, he had gone to confession in preparation for Holy Communion the next morning. That evening, however, he lost his temper at someone and gave a sharp answer. His conscience bothered him greatly about this and he passed a bad night worrying how he could receive Communion in the morning with this "sin" upon him.
