Not unusual but unexpected because I expected more...I went to confession for the first time in around 15 years and poured out years of sin with tears running down my face and my penance was 1 Our Father and 1 Hail Mary. 

What I didn't realize at the time was that this tiny penance planted a seed within me and I pray now more than ever. This sacrament is one of my favorite things about our faith. God's mercy is infinite.
