Forgive was a wrong word, absolution was the word I should have used.
BTW, how many "hail-marys" did your last sin cost ya? how many first Fridays? how many first Saturdays? how many rosaries?
NO, I don't really want to know. Think about it, though.
None. Father Joe is pretty creative in his penances. I was enjoined to watch how I conducted myself daily.
Man, you must've ceased being a Catholic around grade school. As you get older the penances become more adult-like.
