> "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word."

I performed a sin and even though I felt guilty I did not confess or make good to those I wronged until I absolutely had to.
  
In the wake of this, I don't feel clean of my sin or that there is a way to become clean. I feel that what I have done in repentance doesn't "count" because I didn't initiate it on my own free will like I know should have.
  
It was a thing I promised I wouldn't do, in my mind in a prayer to God, and I broke it and on that basis I fear I will go to hell. I am religious but not a Catholic or part of a family that attends church. Should I seek church where a priest will hear my confession even as an outsider?
  
The idea of confessing in this way seems hollow considering I have confessed to my family, those I wronged, and God in prayer (had to be confronted that way). The person I most directly wronged gave me forgiveness, as well as some of those otherwise affected by it, but the promise I made to God in my head was broken and there is nothing they can do for that even if they wanted, it's a private betrayal between the Lord and I.
  
Is there anything I can do? It follows that the answer is to live well and accept my guilt for the past... but this is ALWAYS true as far as I understand. It doesn't feel right that despite having an intolerable sin weighing down on me I would pursue forgiveness from God on a basis of "Whoopsie daisy, guess Ill just go on and try better"
  
What can I actively DO?
  
I have a hard time imagining hearing a priest say I'm forgiven isn't just human comfort. I don't feel secure in taking someone's word for it. I have never related as a Catholic, I have always felt a person's relationship with God is direct. And I feel I violated that in horrifically direct way.
  
What is the best way to repent for a promise you broke to God? Any help is appreciated. If you think I will go to hell, idk how much functional good it will do me to hear it. That is why I ask for advice. I want to focus on how to move forward.
  

If one gets past the Qtard "Trump is still in control" -type content, The Great Awakening board on Scored is a useful news aggregator for mainstream politics.

# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Uncle Ted]( https://www.supersurvey.com/results237511-852710E4-09RV0NDO)
In this weekly our discussion is on Ted Kaczynski a.k.a. Uncle Ted. For obvious reasons please keep all discussion on this topic LEGAL. Most probably know about Uncle Ted from memes like “the industrial revolution and its consequences”. Some likely know of him simply as the Unabomber who is serving 8 consecutive life sentences in the Colorado supermax prison for his crimes. Many know of his manifesto, but few seem to know much about Kaczynski’s essay “Industrial Society and Its Future” and the philosophy it expresses or the sharp critique of leftism it contains. As the political scientist James Q. Wilson puts it “The Unabomber Manifesto is a carefully reasoned, artfully written paper… If it is the work of a madman then the writings of many political philosophers - Jean Jacques Rousseau, Tom Paine, Karl Marx - are scarcely more sane.”
 
Discussion ideas:
* What is it about Ted Kaczynski philosophy that resonates with so many today?
* Do you think given social media and the internet today Ted Kaczynski could have successfully spread his message reaching a wide audience without acts of violence?
* Share a fact or interesting tidbit about Ted Kaczynski.

You can read and figure out the current status of "St. Joseph's Day", I'm following vaguely whatever I can reason is pre-1958: https://infogalactic.com/info/St_Joseph%27s_Day
 
But I was mostly going to share this "Workman's Prayer to St. Joseph" for workers to pray:
 
(Note: The first version is based on the link below but I am editing it from another source that I have; given there are multiple versions online, both are probably just a translation of the latin and it doesn't matter, but I liked this other translation better. I can't find a link with this other version I have - let me know if anyone finds it if they look it up.)
 
other version I'm familiar with:
 
> O Glorious Saint Joseph, model of all those who are devoted to labor, obtain for me the grace to work in a spirit of penance for the expiation of my many sins; to work conscientiously, putting the call of duty above my inclinations; to work with gratitude and joy, considering it an honor to employ and develop by means of labor the gifts received from God; to work with order, peace, moderation, and patience, without ever recoiling before weariness or difficulties; to work, above all, with purity of intention and detachment from self, having always death before my eyes and the account that I must render of time lost, talents wasted, good omitted, and vain complacency in success, so fatal to the work of God. All for Jesus, all through Mary, all after thy example, O Patriarch, Joseph. Such shall be my watchword in life and in death. Amen.

I believe the Trinity in the Unity
The Creator of the Universe.
 
I bind to myself today
The virtue of the Incarnation of Christ with His Baptism,
The virtue of His crucifixion with His burial,

In purity of holy Virgins,
In deeds of righteous men.

The stability of earth,
The compactness of rocks.
 
I bind to myself today
God's Power to guide me,

I invoke today all these virtues
Against every hostile merciless power
Which may assail my body and my soul,
Against the incantations of false prophets,
Against the black laws of heathenism,
Against the false laws of heresy,
Against the deceits of idolatry,
Against the spells of women, and smiths, and druids,
Against every knowledge that binds the soul of man.
 
Christ, protect me today
Against every poison, against burning,
Against drowning, against death-wound,
That I may receive abundant reward.
 
Christ with me, Christ before me,
Christ behind me, Christ within me,
Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ at my right, Christ at my left,
Christ in the fort,
