<p>It was Dee&rsquo;s turn to wait in silence. Eventually, he bowed his head and said, &ldquo;That is all, Father. For these and all of my sins, I ask forgiveness from God, and penance and absolution from you.&rdquo;</p>
<p>There was a pause, and then, &ldquo;Alright, I will ask you to say three Our Fathers for doubting in the path that God has laid out for you. We all have roles to play in our lives, and through us, God works within the world. It could be that you are still discovering this path, but doubt will only hinder you from carrying out His works. However, my son&ndash;&rdquo; The priest rushed to forestall Dee, and the coyote could hear a smile creeping into his voice. &ldquo;Outside of your penance, I would also like you to talk to your advisor. As your confessor, I can only offer you spiritual guidance.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Outside Dee walked slowly to one of the concrete blocks that served as benches and sat, resting his face in his paws. If he could not see the stars, if he had only concrete and paving stones before him, then if he wanted to pray, he had to block out his sight. It was all too much. He would find himself tracing the paving stones, or the catenary arc of the contemporary entrance to St. John&rsquo;s.</p>
