A Marathon of Grace

Oh sure, running 26.2 miles may be challenging, but imagine sitting for 13 straight hours, in a cramped box, listening to sin after sin of your fellow fallen man.

Such is the challenge facing the Franciscan Friars of Primitive Observance, who are staging a “Confess-a-Thon” at St. Kathryn Church in Hudson, N.H. This “penance marathon,” which began on Saturday, continues though today from 6 a.m.-9 p.m.

Way to go, Fathers! Talk about grace through endurance!
