Little lies at home, sentence 11

On Saturday he went to confession at church: «Bless me, Father, for I have sinned.» The priest listened, gave him absolution (forgiveness in God's name) and a small penance (a short prayer or task to show he is sorry), and he walked out feeling light, the weight gone.

Who acts: Owen, priest, God · What happens: go, bless, sin, listen, give, show · To what, where: church, Owen, absolution, weight gone · Speech: someone speaks here
