A lady once approached a priest and confided, "I feel guilty, Father. This morning, before coming to Mass, I committed the sin of pride. I sat for an hour in front of my mirror admiring my beauty. Will I have to do penance?"
The priest, looking at her, replied:
"Not at all, my child. You only have to do penance for a sin; not for imagination."
