“ONE CONFESSION IS WORTH 100 EXORCISMS”
At the moment of her father’s death, Josef Stalin’s daughter, Svetlana, recalled: “He suddenly lifted his left hand as though he were pointing to something above and bringing down a curse on us all. The gesture was incomprehensible and full of menace, and no one could say to whom or at what it might be directed. The next moment, after a final effort, the spirit wrenched itself free of the flesh.”
Svetlana would later on say: “The Eucharist has given me life. The Sacrament of Penance with God whom…we abandon and betray each day, the sense of guilt and sadness that invades us then, all this makes it necessary to receive it frequently.”
