Lesson
Lesson from the first letter of St Peter the Apostle
1 Pet 5:1-4; 5:10-11.
Dearly beloved brethren: The ancients therefore that are among you, I beseech, who am myself also an ancient, and a witness of the sufferings of Christ: as also a partaker of that glory which is to be revealed in time to come: Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking care of it, not by constraint, but willingly, according to God: not for filthy lucre's sake, but voluntarily: Neither as lording it over the clergy, but being made a pattern of the flock from the heart. And when the prince of pastors shall appear, you shall receive a never fading crown of glory. But the God of all grace, who hath called us into his eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a little, will himself perfect you, and confirm you, and establish you. To him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.
R. Thanks be to God.

In illo témpore: Venit Jesus in partes Cæsaréæ Philíppi, et interrogábat discípulos suos, dicens: Quem dicunt hómines esse Fílium hóminis? At illi dixérunt: Alii Joánnem Baptístam, alii autem Elíam, álii vero Jeremíam, aut unum ex prophétis. Dicit illis Jesus: Vos autem quem me esse dícitis? Respóndens Simon Petrus, dixit: Tu es Christus, Fílius Dei vivi. Respóndens autem Jesus, dixit ei: Beátus es, Simon Bar Jona: quia caro et sanguis non revelávit tibi, sed Pater meus, qui in cœlis est. Et ego dico tibi, quia tu es Petrus, et super hanc petram ædificábo Ecclésiam meam, et portæ ínferi non prævalébunt advérsus eam. Et tibi dabo claves regni cœlórum.

R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 16:13-19
In that time: Jesus came into the quarters of Caesarea Philippi: and he asked his disciples, saying: Whom do men say that the Son of man is? But they said: Some John the Baptist, and other some Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of the prophets. Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? Simon Peter answered and said: Thou art Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answering, said to him: Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: because flesh and blood hath not revealed it to thee, but my Father who is in heaven. And I say to thee: That thou art Peter; and upon this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give to thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven.

of Apostles
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, to entreat Thee humbly, O Lord, that Thou wouldst not desert Thy flock, O everlasting Shepherd, but, through Thy blessed Apostles, wouldst keep it under Thy constant protection; that it may be governed by those same rulers, whom as vicars of Thy work, Thou didst set over it to be its pastors. And therefore with Angels and Archangels, with Thrones and Dominations, and with all the hosts of the heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Thy glory, evermore saying:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth! Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is He that cometh in the Name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

Communicántes, et memóriam venerántes, in primis gloriósæ semper Vírginis Maríæ, Genitrícis Dei et Dómini nostri Jesu Christi: sed et beatórum Apostolórum ac Mártyrum tuórum, Petri et Pauli, Andréæ, Jacóbi, Joánnis, Thomæ, Jacóbi, Philíppi, Bartholomǽi, Matthǽi, Simónis et Thaddǽi: Lini, Cleti, Cleméntis, Xysti, Cornélii, Cypriáni, Lauréntii, Chrysógoni, Joánnis et Pauli, Cosmæ et Damiáni: et ómnium Sanctórum tuórum; quorum méritis precibúsque concédas, ut in ómnibus protectiónis tuæ muniámur auxílio. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
We pray in union with and honor the memory, especially of the glorious ever Virgin Mary, mother of our God and Lord Jesus Christ: and of the blessed Apostles and Martyrs Peter and Paul, Andrew, James, John, Thomas, James, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Simon, and Thaddeus; Linus, Cletus, Clement, Xystus, Cornelius, Cyprian, Lawrence, Chrysogonus, John and Paul, Cosmas and Damian, and of all Thy Saints, through whose merits and prayers, grant that we may in all things be defended by the help of Thy protection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hanc ígitur oblatiónem servitútis nostræ, sed et cunctæ famíliæ tuæ, quǽsumus, Dómine, ut placátus accípias: diésque nostros in tua pace dispónas, atque ab ætérna damnatióne nos éripi, et in electórum tuórum júbeas grege numerári. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
25

We therefore beseech Thee, O Lord, graciously to accept this oblation of our service, as also of Thy whole family; and to dispose our days in Thy peace, preserve us from eternal damnation, and rank us in the number of Thine Elect. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Quam oblatiónem tu, Deus, in ómnibus, quǽsumus, bene + díctam, adscríp + tam, ra + tam, rationábilem, acceptabilémque fácere dignéris: ut nobis Cor + pus, et San + guis fiat dilectíssimi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri Jesu Christi.
Which oblation do Thou, O God, vouchsafe in all respects, to bless, + approve, + ratify, + make worthy and acceptable; that it may be made for us the Body + and Blood + of Thy most beloved Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
Qui prídie quam paterétur, accépit panem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas, elevátis óculis in cælum ad te Deum, Patrem suum omnipoténtem, tibi grátias agens, bene + díxit, fregit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et manducáte ex hoc omnes.
Who, the day before He suffered, took bread into His holy and venerable hands, and with His eyes lifted up towards heaven unto Thee, God, His almighty Father, giving thanks to Thee, He blessed + it, broke it and gave it to His disciples saying: Take and eat ye all of this,

HOC EST ENIM CORPUS MEUM.


28

FOR THIS IS MY BODY.



Símili modo postquam cenátum est, accípiens et hunc præclárum Cálicem in sanctas ac venerábiles manus suas: item tibi grátias agens, bene + díxit, dedítque discípulis suis, dicens: Accípite, et bíbite ex eo omnes.
29

In like manner, after He had supped, taking also this excellent chalice into His holy and venerable hands He blessed + , and gave it to His disciples, saying: Take and drink ye all of this,

HIC EST ENIM CALIX SANGUINIS MEI, NOVI ET ÆTERNI TESTAMENTI: MYSTERIUM FIDEI: QUI PRO VOBIS ET PRO MULTIS EFFUNDETUR IN REMISSIONEM PECCATORUM.


Hæc quotiescúmque fecéritis, in mei memóriam faciétis.
30

FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL TESTAMENT, THE MYSTERY OF FAITH; WHICH SHALL BE SHED FOR YOU AND FOR MANY UNTO THE REMISSION OF SINS.


As often as ye do these things, ye shall do them in remembrance of Me.

Unde et mémores, Dómine, nos servi tui, sed et plebs tua sancta, ejúsdem Christi Fílii tui, Dómini nostri, tam beátæ passiónis, nec non et ab ínferis resurrectiónis, sed et in cælos gloriósæ ascensiónis: offérimus præcláræ majestáti tuæ de tuis donis ac datis, Hóstiam + puram, Hóstiam + sanctam, Hóstiam + immaculátam, Panem + sanctum vitæ ætérnæ, et Cálicem + salútis perpétuæ.
31

Wherefore, O Lord, we Thy servants, as also Thy holy people, calling to mind the blessed Passion of the same Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, and also His Resurrection from the dead and His glorious Ascension into heaven: do offer unto Thy most excellent Majesty of Thine own gifts, bestowed upon us, a pure + Host, a holy + Host, an unspotted + Host, the holy + Bread of eternal life, and the Chalice + of everlasting salvation.

Supra quæ propítio ac seréno vultu respícere dignéris: et accépta habére, sicúti accépta habére dignátus es múnera púeri tui justi Abel, et sacrifícium Patriárchæ nostri Abrahæ: et quod tibi óbtulit summus sacérdos tuus Melchísedech, sanctum sacrifícium, immaculátam hóstiam.
32

Upon which vouchsafe to look with a propitious and serene countenance, and to accept them, as Thou wert graciously pleased to accept the gifts of Thy just servant Abel, and the sacrifice of our patriarch Abraham, and that which Thy high priest Melchisedech offered to Thee, a holy sacrifice, and unspotted victim.
Súpplices te rogámus, omnípotens Deus: jube hæc perférri per manus sancti Angeli tui in sublíme altáre tuum, in conspéctu divínæ majestátis tuæ: ut, quotquot ex hac altáris participatióne sacrosánctum Fílii tui Cor + pus, et Sán + guinem sumpsérimus, omni benedictióne cælésti et grátia repleámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
We most humbly beseech Thee, almighty God, command these offerings to be borne by the hands of Thy holy Angels to Thine altar on high, in the sight of Thy divine majesty, that as many as shall partake of the most holy Body + and Blood + of Thy Son at this altar, may be filled with every heavenly grace and blessing. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Meménto étiam, Dómine, famulórum famularúmque tuárum N. et N., qui nos præcessérunt cum signo fídei, et dórmiunt in somno pacis. Ipsis, Dómine, et ómnibus in Christo quiescéntibus locum refrigérii, lucis, et pacis, ut indúlgeas, deprecámur. Per eúndem Christum, Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Remember also, O Lord, Thy servants and handmaids N. and N., who are gone before us with the sign of faith, and rest in the sleep of peace. To these, O Lord, and to all that rest in Christ, grant, we beseech Thee, a place of refreshment, light, and peace; Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
Nobis quoque peccatóribus fámulis tuis, de multitúdine miseratiónum tuárum sperántibus, partem áliquam et societátem donáre dignéris, cum tuis sanctis Apóstolis et Martýribus: cum Joánne, Stéphano, Matthía, Bárnaba, Ignátio, Alexándro, Marcellíno, Petro, Felicitáte, Perpétua, Agatha, Lúcia, Agnéte, Cæcília, Anastásia, et ómnibus Sanctis tuis: intra quorum nos consórtium, non æstimátor mériti, sed véniæ, quǽsumus, largítor admítte. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum.
To us also, Thy sinful servants, confiding in the multitude of Thy mercies, vouchsafe to grant some part and fellowship with Thy holy Apostles and Martyrs, with John, Stephen, Matthias, Barnabas, Ignatius, Alexander, Marcellinus, Peter, Felicitas, Perpetua, Agatha, Lucy, Agnes, Cecilia, Anastasia, and with all Thy Saints, into whose company we beseech Thee to admit us, not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses. Through Christ our Lord.
Per quem hæc ómnia, Dómine, semper bona creas, sanctí + ficas, viví + ficas, bene + dícis et præstas nobis.
Per Ip + sum, et cum Ip + so, et in Ip + so, est tibi Deo Patri + omnipoténti, in unitáte Spíritus + Sancti, omnis honor, et glória.
Per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
R. Amen.
36
By Whom, O Lord, Thou dost ever create, sanctify, + quicken, + bless, + and give unto us all these good things.
By Him, + and with Him, + and in Him + is to Thee, God the Father + almighty, in the unity of the Holy + Ghost, all honor and glory.
P. World without end.
S. Amen.

Preparation for Communion
Let us pray. Instructed by Thy saving precepts, and following Thy divine institution, we are bold to say:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation.
M. But deliver us from evil.
P. Amen.
Líbera nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, ab ómnibus malis, prætéritis, præséntibus et futúris: et intercedénte beáta et gloriósa semper Vírgine Dei Genitríce María, cum beátis Apóstolis tuis Petro et Paulo, atque Andréa, et ómnibus Sanctis, da propítius pacem in diébus nostris: ut, ope misericórdiæ tuæ adjúti, et a peccáto simus semper líberi et ab omni perturbatióne secúri.
Per eúndem Dóminum nostrum Jesum Christum, Fílium tuum.
Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus.

O Lord Jesus Christ, who saidst to Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: regard not my sins, but the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe to grant her that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will: Who livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.
Dómine Jesu Christe, Fili Dei vivi, qui ex voluntáte Patris, cooperánte Spíritu Sancto, per mortem tuam mundum vivificásti: líbera me per hoc sacrosánctum Corpus et Sánguinem tuum ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis, et univérsis malis: et fac me tuis semper inhærére mandátis, et a te numquam separári permíttas: Qui cum eódem Deo Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas Deus in sǽcula sæculórum.

Percéptio Córporis tui, Dómine Jesu Christe, quod ego indígnus súmere præsúmo, non mihi provéniat in judícium et condemnatiónem: sed pro tua pietáte prosit mihi ad tutaméntum mentis et córporis, et ad medélam percipiéndam: Qui vivis et regnas cum Deo Patre in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Let not the partaking of Thy Body, O Lord, Jesus Christ, which I, though unworthy, presume to receive, turn to my judgment and condemnation; but let it, through Thy mercy, become a safeguard and remedy, both for soul and body; Who with God the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest God, world without end. Amen.

Junctis manibus prosequitur:
In princípio erat Verbum, et Verbum erat apud Deum, et Deus erat Verbum. Hoc erat in princípio apud Deum. Omnia per ipsum facta sunt: et sine ipso factum est nihil, quod factum est: in ipso vita erat, et vita erat lux hóminum: et lux in ténebris lucet, et ténebræ eam non comprehendérunt.
Fuit homo missus a Deo, cui nomen erat Joánnes. Hic venit in testimónium, ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine, ut omnes créderent per illum. Non erat ille lux, sed ut testimónium perhibéret de lúmine.
Erat lux vera, quæ illúminat omnem hóminem veniéntem in hunc mundum. In mundo erat, et mundus per ipsum factus est, et mundus eum non cognóvit. In própria venit, et sui eum non recepérunt. Quotquot autem recepérunt eum, dedit eis potestátem fílios Dei fíeri, his, qui credunt in nómine ejus: qui non ex sanguínibus, neque ex voluntáte carnis, neque ex voluntáte viri, sed ex Deo nati sunt. Genuflectit dicens: Et Verbum caro factum est, Et surgens prosequitur: et habitávit in nobis: et vídimus glóriam ejus, glóriam quasi Unigéniti a Patre, plenum grátiæ et veritátis.

R. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 1, 1-14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was made nothing that was made: in Him was life, and the life was the Light of men; and the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. This man came for a witness, to testify concerning the Light, that all might believe through Him. He was not the Light, but he was to testify concerning the Light. That was the true Light, which enlighteneth every man that cometh into this world. He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him to them He gave power to become sons of God, to them that believe in His Name, who are born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Here all kneel. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us: and we saw His glory, the glory as of the Only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
R. Thanks be to God.

 ICH GEHE NACH ZEHN JAHREN ABWESENHEIT VON SRI WIEDER ZUR BEICHTE


Nicht, dass ich mich von der Kirche distanziert hätte, aber schwer zu erklärende Umstände und die Inthronisierung des Papstpropstes (eines Pontifex im Sinne Gottes) veranlassten mich, vor dem Bußgericht niederzuknien.


Ein weiterer Anreiz: An diesem Oster- und Pfingstfest (Pfingstein, wie die Deutschen es nennen) spürte ich die Taube des Heiligen Geistes um mich herumflattern.


Um den Sack auszuladen, entschied ich mich für den Besuch des Gefängnisses der Kathedrale von Segovia, Don Crescente, der in meiner Klasse war, ein Zeitgenosse und ein Seminarkamerad.


Ich erinnere mich gut an ihn: Nicht sehr groß, aber stark wie eine Eiche, schlug er beim Ballspielen mit Schlägen wie Schüsse gegen den Giebel des Carchena-Turms – das ist die Mauer des Cervantes-Kinos, das wir früher den Seminargarten nannten.


Ich verabredete mich mit ihm in der Christuskapelle, die das Mittelschiff des Querschiffs der letzten gotischen Kathedrale überragt. An einem Mainachmittag kniete ich vor dem kunstvollen Bußgericht nieder, um meine lange aufgeschobene Ohrenbeichte abzulegen.


Ich wusste nicht, wie ich mein Schuldbekenntnis beginnen sollte, aber welche Sünden kann man mit 81 Jahren begehen?


—Gegrüßet seist du, Maria, du Reinste.


—Ohne Sünde empfangen. Was bringst du mit, Antoñito?


—Nun, ich bin gekommen, um bei dir zu beichten, Crescentín.


—Wie lange ist es her, dass du das Abendmahl empfangen hast?


—Mehr als fünfzehn Jahre.


Ich bemerke, wie der Gefängniswärter auf seinem Platz hinter dem Gitter erschrocken hin und her rutscht. Er seufzt, es herrscht lange Stille, und dann sagt er:


—Vierzehn Jahre sind fünfzehn Jahre.


—Kabale.


„In Sevilla und Linares sind zwanzig Maultiere zehn Paar. Hast du deinen Glauben verloren, Parrita?“


„Auf keinen Fall. Ich bleibe den alten Messbüchern treu und bete das Stundengebet nach dem Ritus des heiligen Pius V.“


„Es wurde abgeschafft.“


„Deshalb bin ich russisch-orthodox geworden. In London wurde ich von Metropolit Antonius zum Diakon geweiht.“


„Was für ein Unsinn, aber Christus vergibt alles. Außerdem sehe ich, dass du mit guten Absichten gehandelt hast.“


„Gehst du zur Messe?“


„Ich bete sie zu Hause.“


„Diese Messen nützen dir nichts. Weißt du nicht mehr, was Don Demoque uns beigebracht hat? Weißt du noch unseren Moralprofessor? Mein Vorgänger in dieser Position war ein erfahrener Kirchenrechtler. Man kann die Gesetze nicht ignorieren; sie sind da.“


„Mal sehen: das vierte Gebot. Hast du deinen Vater und deine Mutter geehrt?“


Ich habe ihnen geholfen, so gut ich konnte. Als ich jung war, habe ich alles verschenkt, was ich zu Hause verdiente, und als ich erwachsen war, habe ich mich um sie gekümmert, bis sie alt waren. Aber sie haben mir Gutes mit Bösem vergolten; ich war das schwarze Schaf der Familie. Ich habe das Priesterseminar abgebrochen, und meine Mutter hat mir das nie verziehen.



„Nun, das passiert in den besten Familien. Mal sehen, was die fünfte ist. Haben Sie einen Mitmenschen getötet oder verletzt, durch Wort oder Tat?“



„Ich hätte am liebsten mehr als einen umgebracht, Pater, aber ich habe mich zurückgehalten, und anstatt diejenigen anzugreifen, die mich angegriffen oder diffamiert haben, habe ich versucht, die andere Wange hinzuhalten.“



„Gut. Das Sexgebot. Begehen Sie lüsterne Handlungen?“



„Du bist ein ziemlicher Idiot, Crescente. Mittlerweile sind wir älter als der heilige Hilarius. Keusch durch Zwang.“ Ich hatte eine Prostataoperation, und es war wie eine chemische Entmannung. Seh- und Hörvermögen sterben jedoch zuletzt, auch wenn sie vielleicht kleine Sünden begehen, und ich stöbere gerne im Internet auf Pornoseiten.


„Oh Gott, wovon redest du? Du bist doch verheiratet.“


Ja, aber meine Frau macht ihr eigenes Ding; sie hat mich satt, und ich stelle meine Untreue zur Schau, indem ich diese berüchtigten Chatrooms besuche, in denen jeder Schmutz seinen Platz findet. In den Nackträumen sehe ich Frauen aus aller Welt masturbieren, ihre Finger in den Hintern stecken, mit den Augen rollen und Schaum aus ihren Vaginas spritzen. Nicht, dass mich das tröstet. Es ist nur, dass ich entsetzt bin. Denn die Prophezeiungen von Sodom und Gomorra erfüllen sich mit diesen Schlampen im Handumdrehen.


Die Schlimmste, die Hernandez-ähnlichste, die begabteste in Fellatio, Analsex ist Russisch, Rimming usw. Ich sage dir gleich, ich hätte mich fast in eine verliebt. Eine wunderschöne Sibirierin. Sie taucht an ihrer Tür auf und schließt dann das Fenster, als sie von einem ihrer lüsternen Verehrer zu einem exklusiven privaten Treffen eingeladen wird. Fünfzehn Minuten später kommt sie zurück, völlig zerzaust und aussehend Der diensthabende Kunde hatte sie verprügelt und hatte blaue Flecken an Hintern und Brüsten.


„Oh mein Gott, was für ein Scheißkerl siehst du dir da an.“


„Sie heißt Estrella, und ich habe versucht, sie zu bekehren, indem ich ihr von den Qualen der Hölle erzählte.“ Sie hörte mir einmal aufmerksam zu, als ich mit Estela plauderte, mit einem jungfräulichen Gesicht, das aussah, als hätte sie noch nie einen Teller zerbrochen; sie hörte mir aufmerksam auf der anderen Seite des Bildschirms zu. Ich erklärte ihr, dass Prostitution nicht nur für die Seele, sondern auch für den Körper gefährlich sei. Alles vergebens. Kaufmannsohren. Wer in diesen Abgrund fällt, kann nicht erlöst werden. Er wird vom Laster überwältigt. Er ist sexsüchtig. Ich spreche mit ihr als Diakon der Russischen Kirche, aber sie zeigte mir nur einen großen Plastikpenis.

 I'M GOING TO CONFESSION AGAIN AFTER TEN YEARS AWAY FROM SRI


It's not that I've distanced myself from the church, but circumstances that are hard to explain and the enthronement of Pope Provost (a pontiff as God intended) pushed me to kneel before the tribunal of penance.


Another incentive: this Easter and Pentecost (Pfingstein, the Germans call it), I felt the dove of the Holy Spirit fluttering around me.


To "unload the bag," I chose to go to the penitentiary of Segovia Cathedral, Don Crescente, who was in my class, a contemporary, and a seminary classmate.


I remember him well: not very tall, but as strong as an oak tree while playing ball, he would throw punches that were like shots against the pediment of the Carchena Tower—that's the wall of the Cervantes cinema, which we used to call the seminary garden.


I made an appointment with him at the Chapel of Christ, which tops the nave of the transept of the last Gothic cathedral. One May afternoon, I knelt before that elaborate box they call the tribunal of penitence to process my long-delayed auricular confession.


I didn't know how to begin the declaration of my guilt, but what sins can one commit at 81 years old?


—Hail Mary, most pure.


—Conceived without sin. What brings you here, Antoñito?


—Well, I've come to confess with you, Crescentín.


—How long has it been since you received the sacrament?


—More than fifteen years.


I notice the penitentiary officer shift in alarm in his seat behind the grate. He sighs, there is a long silence, and then he says:


—Fourteen years is fifteen years.


—Cabales.


"In Seville and Linares, twenty mules are ten pairs. Have you lost your faith, Parrita?"


"No way. I still stick to my guns with the old missals and pray the Divine Office of the Rite of Saint Pius V."


"It was abolished."


"That's why I became Russian Orthodox. In London, I was ordained a deacon by Metropolitan Anthony."


"What nonsense, but Christ forgives all. Besides, I see you acted with upright intentions."


"Do you go to Mass?"


"I pray it at home."


"Those Masses are of no use to you. Don't you remember what Don Demoque taught us? Do you remember our professor of Morals? My predecessor in the position was an expert canon lawyer. You can't ignore the laws; they're there."


"Let's see: the fourth commandment. Did you honor your father and mother?"


"I helped them as much as I could. When I was young, I gave away everything I earned at home, and when I grew up, I took care of them until they were old. But they repaid me with evil for good; I was the black sheep of the family. I dropped out of the seminary, and my mother never forgave me for that."


"Well, that happens in the best of families. Let's see the fifth. Did you kill or hurt a fellow human being, by word or deed?"


"I felt like killing more than one, Father, but I restrained myself, and instead of attacking those who attacked or defamed me, I tried to turn the other cheek."


"Good. The sex commandment. Do you commit lustful acts?"


"You're a bit of a jerk, Crescente. At this point, we're older than Saint Hilary. Chaste by force." I had prostate surgery, and it was like a chemical emasculation. However, sight and hearing are the last to die, even though they may commit little sin, and I like to browse porn sites on the internet.


"Oh, God, what are you talking about? You're a married man."


"Yes, but my wife is doing her own thing; she's tired of me, and I relieve my infidelity by visiting those infamous chat rooms where every kind of filth finds a place. In the Nude rooms, I see women from all over the world masturbate, stick their fingers in their asses, roll their eyes, and ejaculate foam from their vaginas. It's not that this comforts me. It's that I feel horrified. Because the prophecies of Sodom and Gomorrah are fulfilled within a click of a button with those sluts.


The worst, the most hernandez-like, skilled at fellatio, anal sex is Russian, rimming, etc. I'm about to tell you, I almost fell in love with one. A gorgeous Siberian woman. She shows up at her door, then closes the window when she's asked to be amorous by one of her lustful suitors for an exclusive private meeting. She returns fifteen minutes later, all disheveled and looking like the client on duty had beaten her up, sporting bruises on her buttocks and breasts.


"Oh my God, what a piece of shit you're looking at."


"Her name is Estrella, and I was trying to convert her by talking to her about the pains of hell. She listened once as I chatted with Estela attentively, sporting a virginal face that looked like she'd never broken a plate; she listened attentively on the other side of the screen. I told her that prostitution is not only dangerous to the health of the soul but also the body. All in vain. A merchant's ears. Those who fall into that abyss cannot be redeemed. They are overcome by vice. They are sex addicts. I'm speaking to her as a deacon of the Russian Church, but all she did was show me a large plastic penis and utter a blasphemous word: "This is my God."


She was sold by a Jewish thug and ended up in a brothel in Istanbul, but managed to return to St. Petersburg where she earns a living by racing.

 PRAVITY OF MATTER


МОЯ ИСПОВЕДЬ ДЛЯ УСТРАНЕНИЯ ПРОБЛЕМ: ТЮРЬМА ОТКАЗЫВАЕТ МНЕ В ОТПУЩЕНИИ ГРЕХОВ


Я ВОЗВРАЩАЮСЬ К ИСПОВЕДИ ПОСЛЕ ДЕСЯТИ ЛЕТ ОТСУТСТВИЯ ОТ SRI


Дело не в том, что я отдалился от церкви, просто обстоятельства, которые слишком долго объяснялись, и интронизация Папы Прево (понтифика, как задумал Бог) подтолкнули меня преклонить колени перед судом покаяния.


Еще один стимул: в эту Пасху и Пятидесятницу (Пфингштейн, как называют ее немцы) я почувствовал, как голубь Святого Духа порхает вокруг меня.


Чтобы «разгрузить сумку», я решил пойти в тюрьму Сеговийского собора, Дон Кресченте, который был моим однокурсником, современником и однокурсником по семинарии.


Я хорошо его помню: не очень высокий, но крепкий, как дуб, играя в мяч, он бил мячом, как ядром, по фронтону башни Карчена — это стена кинотеатра Сервантеса, которую мы называли семинарским садом.


Я назначил ему встречу в часовне Христа, что венчает неф трансепта последнего готического собора. Однажды майским днем ​​я преклонил колени перед изящным ящиком, который они называют трибуналом покаяния, чтобы произнести свою долгожданную аурикулярную исповедь.


Я не знал, как начать признание своей вины, но какие грехи можно совершить в 81 год?


— Радуйся, Мария Пречистая


— Зачатый без греха. Что привело тебя сюда, Антонито?


— Ну, я пришел исповедоваться вместе с тобой, Кресентин.


— Сколько времени прошло с тех пор, как ты принял причастие?


«Более пятнадцати лет».


Я замечаю, как тюремный надзиратель встревоженно ёрзает на своём месте за решёткой. Он вздыхает, наступает долгое молчание, а затем он говорит:


"Пятнадцать лет — это пятнадцать лет".


"Верно".


"В Севилье и Линаресе двадцать мулов — это десять пар. Ты потерял веру, Паррита?"


"Ни в коем случае. Я всё ещё придерживаюсь старых молитвенников и молюсь на Божественной службе обряда Святого Пия V".


"Её упразднили".


"Вот почему я стал русским православным. В Лондоне меня рукоположил в дьяконы митрополит Антоний".


"Какая чушь, но Христос всё прощает. К тому же, я вижу, что ты действовал с честными намерениями".


"Ты ходишь на мессу?"


"Я молюсь дома".


"Эти мессы тебе не на пользу". Ты разве не помнишь, чему нас учил дон Демок? Ты помнишь нашего профессора морали? Моим предшественником на этой должности был эксперт-канонист. Законы игнорировать нельзя, они прямо здесь.


«Давайте посмотрим: четвертая заповедь. Вы почитали отца и мать?»


«Я помогал им, как мог. Когда я был молод, я раздавал все, что зарабатывал дома, а когда вырос, заботился о них, пока они не состарились. Но они платили мне злом за добро; я был белой вороной в семье. Я бросил семинарию, и моя мать так и не простила мне этого».


«Что ж, это случается в лучших семьях. Давайте посмотрим пятую. Вы убили или ранили другого человека, словом или делом?»


«Мне хотелось убить не одного, отец, но я сдержался и вместо того, чтобы нападать на тех, кто нападал на меня или порочил меня, я старался подставить другую щеку».


─ Хорошо. Заповедь о сексе. Вы совершаете похотливые действия?


─Ты немного придурок, Кресент. На данный момент мы старше, чем Святой Иларий. Целомудренный по принуждению. У меня была операция на простате, и это было похоже на химическую кастрацию. Однако зрение и слух умирают последними, даже если они совершают небольшой грех, а мне нравится просматривать порносайты в Интернете.


─О, Боже, о чем ты говоришь? Ты женатый человек.


─Да, но моя жена ушла сама по себе; она устала от меня, и я справляюсь с изменой, заходя в те печально известные чаты, где находит место любая грязь. В комнатах для обнаженных я вижу, как женщины со всего мира мастурбируют, засовывают пальцы себе в задницы, закатывают глаза и эякулируют пеной из своих влагалищ. Я не нахожу в этом никакого утешения. Я просто в ужасе. Потому что пророчества Содома и Гоморры исполняются всего одним щелчком мыши с этими шлюхами.


Худшая, самая красивая, искусная в фелляции, анальном сексе — русская, римминг и т. д. Я собираюсь рассказать вам, я почти влюбился в одну. Великолепная сибирячка. Она появляется у своей двери, а затем закрывает окно, когда один из ее похотливых поклонников просит ее о любви для эксклюзивной личной встречи. Она возвращается через пятнадцать минут, вся растрепанная и выглядит так, будто ее избил дежурный клиент, щеголяя синяками на ягодицах и груди.


«О Боже, на какой кусок дерьма ты смотришь».


«Ее зовут Эстрелла, и я пытался обратить ее, говоря с ней о муках ада. Она слушала меня однажды, внимательно, пока я болтал с Эстелой, щеголяя девственным лицом, как будто она никогда не разбивала тарелку; она внимательно слушала меня по ту сторону экрана. Я сказал ей, что проституция опасна не только для здоровья души, но и тела. Все напрасно. Уши торговца. Те, кто падает в эту бездну, не могут быть искуплены. Порок одолевает их. Они — сексоголики. Я говорил с ней как дьякон русской церкви, но все, что она сделала, это показала мне большой пластиковый член и произнесла богохульство: «Это мой Бог».

PRAVEDAD DE MATERIA

 

MI ACCIDENTADA CONFESIÓN AURICULAR EL PENITENCIARIO ME NIEGA LA ABSOLUCIÓN

 

VUELVO A CONFESARME DESPUÉS DE DIEZ AÑOS ALEJADO DE SRI

 

No es que me haya alejado de la iglesia pero circunstancias largas de explicar y la entronización del papa Prevost (un pontífice como Dios manda) me empujaron a arrodillarme ante el tribunal de la penitencia.

Otro aliciente: esta pascua de resurrección y de pentecostés (Pfingstein lo llaman los germanos) he sentido aletear la paloma del Espíritu Santo a mi alrededor. 

Para “descargar el saco” opté por acudir al penitenciario de la catedral de Segovia, don Crescente, que era de mi curso, contemporáneo y compañero de seminario. 

Le recuerdo bien no muy grande de talla pero fuerte como un quejigo jugando a la pelota pegaba unos mangazos que eran como disparos contra el frontón de la torre Carchena esto es el paredón del cine Cervantes que decíamos la huerta del seminario. 

Le pedí cita en la capilla del Cristo que remata la nave del crucero de la última catedral gótica. Una tarde de mayo me arrodillé ante aquel cajón prestoso que llaman tribunal de la penitencia para despachar mi confesión auricular diferida tanto tiempo.

No sabía cómo empezar la declaración de mis culpas, pero ¿Qué pecados se pueden cometer a los 81 años?

─Ave María purísima

─Sin pecado concebida ¿Qué te trae por aquí, Antoñito?

─Pues vengo a confesarme contigo, Crescentín

─¿Cuánto hace que no recibes el sacramento?

─Más de tres lustros

Noto al penitenciario revolverse alarmado en su asiento detrás de la rejilla. Suspira, se hace un largo silencio y después dice:

─Tres lustros son quince años

─Cabales.

−En Sevilla y en Linares veinte mulas son diez pares. ¿Perdiste la fe, Parrita?

─Quiá. Sigo en mis trece con los viejos misales y rezo El oficio divino del rito de San Pió V.

─Fue abolido

─Por eso mismo y me hice ortodoxo ruso, en Londres fui ordenado diácono por el metropolitano Antonio

─Qué disparate, pero Xto lo perdona todo. Además, veo que obraste con rectitud de intención.

─¿Vas a misa?

─La rezo en casa

─Esas misas no te valen. ¿No te acuerdas de lo que nos enseñaba don Demoque,  ¿te acuerdas de nuestro porfesor de Moral? Mi predecesor en el cargo que era un experto canonista. Las leyes no te las puedes saltar a la torera, están ahí.

─A ver: cuarto mandamiento ¿Honraste padre y madre?

─Les ayudé en lo que pude. De joven entregaba todo lo que ganaba en casa y de mayor cuidé de ellos hasta que fueron viejos. Pero ellos me devolvieron mal por bien, yo era la oveja negra de la familia. Me salí del seminario y eso jamás me lo perdonó mi madre.

─Bueno, eso ocurre en las mejores familias. A ver el quinto. ¿Mataste o heriste de palabra u obra a un semejante?

─Ganas me dieron de matar a más de uno, padre, pero me contuve y en lugar de agredir a los que me agredían o difamaban traté de volver la otra mejilla.

─Bien. El sexo mandamiento. ¿Cometes actos lujuriosos?

─Que cosas tienes, Crescente. A estas alturas, ya somos más viejos que san Hilario. Castos a la fuerza. Me operaron de la próstata y fue como una emasculación química. Sin embargo, la vista y el oído son los últimos en morir aunque poco puedan pecar y a mí me gusta consultar las páginas porno de internet

─Ay, Dios, pero ¿Qué cosas dices, pues? Eres un hombre casado.

─Sí, pero mi parienta anda a lo suyo, se cansó de mí y yo me alivio de mis cuernos entrando en esos chats infames donde toda suciedad encuentra un hueco. En las salas del Desnudo veo cómo se masturban las mujeres de medio mundo, se meten el dedito en el culo, vuelven la vista y eyaculan espuma por la vagina. A mí no es que me solace esto. Es que siento horror. Porque se cumplen las profecías de Sodoma y Gomorra al alcance de un clic con esas pelanduscas.

Las peores, las más hernecidas, duchas en la felación, el sexo anal son las rusas, el beso negro, etc. Estoy por decirte que casi me enamoro de una. Una siberiana guapísima. Aparece en su portal, luego cierra la ventanilla cuando es requerida de amores por alguno de sus lujuriosos solicitantes para un privado exclusivo. Regresa al cabo de un cuarto de hora todo despeluzada y dando la impresión de que el cliente de turno la ha dado una paliza, luciendo moratones en nalgas y pechos.

─Uy por Dios y esa porquería miras

─Se llama Estrella y yo trataba de convertirla hablándole de las penas del infierno. Me escuchaba una vez que parlamenté a Estela con atención y luciendo una cara virginal con aire de no haber roto nunca un plato; atenta me escuchaba al otro lado de la pantalla. Le hablé de que la prostitución es no solo peligrosa para la salud del alma sino del cuerpo también. Todo en vano. Oídos de mercader. Las que caen en ese abismo no pueden ser redimidas. Les puede el vicio. Son adictas al sexo. Le hablo como diacono de la iglesia rusa pero por toda respuesta me mostró un gran cipote de plástico y dijo una blasfemia: "este es mi Dios". 

Fue vendida por un macarra judío y acabó en Estambul en un lupanar, pero consiguió regresar a San Petersburgo donde se gana la vida haciendo la carrera. Sexo cibernético.

─Esta Estrella, Crescente, ilumina los cielos tenebrosos del terror del milenario.

─Pero hombre, querido colega, ¿cómo te metes en esos tinglados pecadores?

─Porque tengo órdenes sagradas bizantinas y porque soy periodista y me gustaría anunciar a la juventud de los peligros de estas corrupciones, de estas perdidas que se ganan la vida con el clitoris.

─Esas pobres mujercillas acabarán en la cárcel, el hospital o la calle

─Sí ciertamente. Vosotros los que os quedasteis en el seminario ─le digo a mi antiguo colega─ no sabéis la fuerza que tiene el diablo y yo donde me ves soy un luchador contra la bestia. El argentino que acaba de morir trabajaba para la sinagoga, los malos de esta película.

─¿Cómo te atreves...?

Mi confesor frunce el ceño indignado, percibo su enojo, espero una de aquellos guantadas de cuando jugaba al frontón; tarda de reaccionar unos minutos para concluir:

Roma locuta, causa finita. No te puedo dar la absolución

─¿Por qué?

─Pravedad de materia. Es decir, que el pecado es demasiado gordo. Has de recurrir a otras instancias, al papa, por ejemplo. Renegaste de tu fe.

─Jamás. Sólo cambié de rito. Del latino por el griego

─Pero los cánones son los cánones, Parrita. No te cabrées

─Sí me cabreo y me indigno, pero para tí la perra gorda que para eso eres el penitenciario de esta diócesis.

 El viejo penitenciario Crescente al que yo tanto apreciaba cuando éramos latinos y jugábamos al fútbol en Baterías aquel viejo campo de tierra lleno de guijarros, me despide con cajas destempladas y yo estoy a punto de mandarle a tomar por culo, pero aprieto las cuentas de mi rosario y me voy que bufo.

 Dios los perdone a él, a la puta,  y a una iglesia que no ha sabido estar a la altura en su lucha contra el diablo. Esperemos que el papa León XIV retorne a la iglesia de Roma por donde solía. Amén. Mi exmologesis acabó como el rosario de la aurora. ¡Mira que negarme la absolución cual si fuese yo un hereje; así pagas nuestra amistad, Crescente, de cuando íbamos juntos en la terna a pegarle patadas al balón en el campo de Baterías! Pues métete tu absolución por donde te quepa. Ego te absolvo a peccatis tuis... Pienso para mi consolación que ciertos sacramentos no son dogmas ni imprimen carácter; son meros símbolos convencionales y que sólo Cristo puede perdonar los pecados. No un cura inepto mal encarado y gilipollas.
