Fr. J's reply to my inquiry about the nature of forgiveness and the situation with my parents was, boiled down to basics:
1) Make sure you pray every morning and evening - it doesn't matter which prayer;
2) Reading the psalms can be helpful;
3) We should talk about this face-to-face on Sunday;
4) Your mind is a bad neighborhood which you should stay out of (OK, he actually said not to dwell on this too much and to do relaxing, distracting things - basically
papertigers's advice).
I am confirmed in thinking that, quite apart from having a wife who is very smart and lots of fun, he is probably a very sound priest.
