Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker opens with the traditional words of a confession: asking a priest's blessing, admitting sin, and stating that two months have passed since the last one. The tone is formal, ritual and orderly, giving the moment a matter-of-fact frame before any particular wrongdoing is named.
