Got Guilt?

My favorite no nonsense nun, Sister Mary Martha (I bought her coasters!), had a great post on guilt. She says:

I love guilt, period. I know in these touchy feely goody good times we aren't supposed to run around feeling guilty. It isn't "healthy".

I think it is very healthy. If you do something wrong, you should feel bad about it. The worse the thing is that you did, the worse you should feel.

I don't really mind if you run around feeling guilty most of the time. You've probably done enough things or failed to do enough things to merit the guilt. Some people might call it a 'guilt complex'. I call it a "sense of responsibility".

Read the rest here to see how she ties this together with Palm Sunday and Holy Week.
