All this month the nuns have been preparing my little boy for his first Confession. In a few days he will go in a crocodile from the school to the parish church; enter the strange looking cabinet in the corner of the aisle and see in the dusk of this secretive box an old priest’s face behind a grill. He will acknowledge his wickedness to this pale crisscrossed face. He will be a little frightened but he will enjoy it too, because he does not really believe any of it-for him it is a kind of game that the nuns and the priest are playing between them.
