I Became a Priest Who Was Bullied

Inside the quiet penance room. With only the sound of candles crackling clearly audible, I put on my clothes, held my hands together, and slowly recited a prayer.

“The Lord will have mercy on you and forgive you all. Please confess all the sins you have committed.”

I slightly opened my closed eyes and stared at the curtain in front of me. What you see is a single human image reflected in the candlelight. Even though it was covered in black and white, a feminine beauty that could not be hidden beyond the silhouette was felt.

“Kuhm… . nice… . Will God really forgive all my sins?”

Next, a woman’s thin voice is heard. Although it was weak, there was quite a bit of worry and fear mixed into the voice.

It must be difficult.

It takes a certain amount of courage to confess something to a complete stranger who is not your family. Everyone was very reluctant at first to confess their sins. As you know, humans have a habit of hiding when they commit a sin. In fact, just coming this far was a great thing for her.

“Confessing your sins is definitely difficult. However, if a believer truly regrets his sins and confesses his mistakes, the Lord will forgive him with great generosity.”

“Well, then… . ah… I can’t… .”

A woman who hesitates for about ten minutes without speaking. How serious of a sin had I committed that I hesitated so much that my eyebrows began to frown and my patience began to reach its limit.

‘I wonder if he might have committed murder.’

Even though the Middle Ages are overflowing with vagrants, I have never seen anyone confess their murder.

And even if something like that actually happened, it shouldn’t have been revealed.

So, unless it was something that serious, I didn’t understand why you were worrying so much about it. Anyway, no one will know except me… .

“I know I really shouldn’t do this, but… That priest… .”

“Yes, believer… ”

“Actually, there was someone I liked for a long time.”

AC… did something

I thought he had come to tell me that he had committed an affair, but the common confession of love cooled me down.
