He had confessed the same sin he had been reporting for many years: the violation of God's rule No. 3: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy," which means not working on Sundays.

A. Paniagua begins with the account of a corrupt Catholic priest and his parishioners.

Other stories explore the effect of societal pressures on susceptible young women, the desperate plight of the homeless, and the existence of God.Thought-provoking and entertaining, The Blessing Flood and Other Tales will lead you through a gamut of human emotions.
