"Burden"
"Carmine! Stop shutting Jesus out! You were made for more than this…
You are capable of more than you are right now.
Stop hiding.
Come and see that Jesus will not condemn you, but love you…
Start again, this time,
BELIEVE….."
--Father Barry O'Malley
"Burden" is powerful, highly emotional, yet still very funny look at the burden that a sinful lifestyle places on our souls.
It emphasizes the seriousness of sin and the “baggage” one carries when sin becomes a habit.
Sin effects all the areas of our life and only when we offer those same areas to God’s healing power,
through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, can we experience the freedom Christ died to give us.
Come and experience the HEART of the Sacrament of Confession,
the intimate ENCOUNTER with our loving, merciful FATHER.
You are capable of more than you are right now.
Stop hiding.
Come and see that Jesus will not condemn you, but love you…
Start again, this time,
BELIEVE….."

What people are saying about "BURDEN"...
"Truth be told, I was shocked. I mean, everything that Carmine Catholic went through, every sin, every plea for help...that was me. That still is me. After seeing this play the only hing I could think of was how much I needed--no, WANTED--to return to confession. And I did, for the first time in 55 years."
Parishioner, Curé of Ars, Merrick
"The skit impressed me very much. I did not expect to see good acting but the men were filled with heart felt emotion. I felt their anger, their greed, their contrition. I was amazed by how real the script was. The words were not written to impress anyone with there eloquence, but written to inspire with their depth. I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially people like me, who came in skeptical about anything to do with confession. It made me cry, it made me think most of all though it made me finally consider how much God really loves me."
