I am not a young person, yet scrupulosity has crept into my life and has become a real issue over the last couple of years. My experience with it is not exactly as described, but it's this and a little more. If you haven't had to deal with this, you are extremely fortunate. It affects my entire day, just about everyday. Sometimes, it makes it difficult to get simple, everyday tasks done in a timely manner. Sometimes, I have to stop and pray, or speak to God in the middle of walking from one end of the house to the other. It is tiresome and if you're not careful, it can make people resentful. Be careful, this is a real concern and a very difficult thing to deal with.

I’ve been to an Orthodox Church, I’ve informed myself about the history of the church and I hope I’ll be baptized in the Orthodox Church. Catholicism is heretical, the pope wasn’t “infallible” before the schism, but guess what? Now he is! Oh, but only under some circumstances! You say that the patriarch of Constantinople was proud, but he is still the first among equals. The pope is the “vicar of Christ”. Don’t you see the difference here? Christ said that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Oh no! But Pope Francis said that everyone is going to heaven! That’s a heresy. This proves that orthodoxy is the truth! Wake up! Слава Богу ☦️

I disagree with this. I prefer my routine of weekly confusion. It really works for me. I notice that sticking to my confession once a week contributes greatly to my spiritual life. I feel that I am given more graces, I am kinder and I am more capable of holding my temper. Our Lady through a private revelation to Fr.Gobbi rcommemded going to confession once a week. A couple of priests discouraged me from doing this and it has been one of the most destructive consequences in my spiritual life. Pope John Paul II confessed weekly.

I agree with this. Weekly confession has prevented me from committing mortal sins but I often fall into venial sins due to my natural temperament and defects. The Sacrament of Reconciliation has been one of the most life-changing experiences in my life and I take advantage of it now whenever I can. It's a really good medicine for me.

Ask the Holy Spirit for help in those areas and if you fall don't panic the fact that you see it as a sin means you're still under God's grace... He knows our tendencies. He told St. Faustina that the graver the sin the wider is his mercy and that they are the first ones who gain his mercy. He is always willing to give the Fount of mercy is wide, but so should I trust. He told St. Faustina that our lack of trust hurts him gravely so trust and abandon yourself that your Father in heaven will see you through right to your last day you WILL see Him He is your dad he loves you. You're not lifting him up with good behaviour he lifts you up with grace ❤ have faith and trust. He's got you !

The answers of the pupils being interrogated by the agents of the government show a superior education in the faith and a solid Catholic formation of the teachings of the oratory. It is obvious the agents were hostile and looking for a reason to close the school of Don Bosco. The truth always wins against evil.

Gospel, according to Saint John, 20: 21-23 Jesus gave his apostles (and therefore their succesors) authority to forgive sins in His name. Priests don't forgive sins by their own power and authority, but rather, God forgives our sins through His minister, the priest. We are only obeying Jesus commandments.

Thank you for this video on scrupulosity and confession. What is the difference between a general confession and a confession of a person who hasn't gone to confession in ten years? Should one make an appointment with a priest in either of these situations?
@donboscostories 4 күн бұрын
We did a video on general confessions a couple weeks ago. A general confession is a confession over your whole life or a certain period of your life. If someone hasn’t been to confession in 10 years they might just make a general confession if they can’t remember what they said or didn’t say since last confession. We have a playlist on confession. Highly recommend.

I never had a regular confessor but have gotten good advice on this from different priests. One said never confess sins from the past unless you deliberately concealed them. Don't worry about if you explained your sin properly. If the priest didn't understand, he would have asked you to clarify. Also never confess doubtful sins. He said if you are trying to figure out if there is doubt, "cross your fingers" and forget about it (don't confess it) and leave it to God. Another priest said if you are trying to determine whether or not you committed a mortal sin, you have one chance to make a decision yea or nay and stick with it. No going back and thinking about it in a different way.

My understanding is that if you remember mortal sins from the past and they have not previously been confessed, you should confess them. If you had previously forgotten to confess them, they would still have been forgiven in subsequent confession, however once remembered, they must be confessed.
@billinmaryland 3 күн бұрын
@@Planechant2 Yeah, that would be the standard rule for the majority. The old moral theology book by Rev. Heribert Jone & Rev. Urban Adelman which is really a guide for confessors has a section on scrupulosity and it says that scrupulous penitents should be told to never mention anything before their last valid confession. In other words, the instructions are different depending on where the penitent falls on the spectrum.

Why not just confess something if in doubt? that way it's covered. Also even if something is confessed you will receive the grace anyway.

I do struggled with my 3 deadly sins that I committed ( The very first deadly sin was in March 1997, second, March 1999, third, May 2003 ) against God and my soul. I have confessed these 3 deadly sins. When I committed these 3 sins I did not even know that they are deadly sins against God. I thought that they were just part of life. By the grace of God now I am 100% sure that they are deadly sins against God. I am so, so,so grateful that I did not die before confessing these 3 sins because I could have ended in hell if I did not confess or if repented in my last breathe I could end up in purgatory for 500 years. I know that God has forgiven me but the remorse eats me alive. I am praying to God to help me healed from these 3 wounds I caused and I am guilty of it. Deo gratias. Sometimes we go through life with some things that did happen for a reason and to open our eyes and heart to see and witness the mercy of God. Viva Cristo Rey.

St. Pope John Paul II went to confession weekly, and sometimes more often, including before major feast days and liturgical seasons. He believed that frequent confession was necessary for personal holiness, and he encouraged young people to confess often to help them mature faster. Frequent confession is a spiritual practice for many Christians, including Catholics, Lutherans, and Anglicans. Canon law and the teachings of past popes recommend confessing between once a month and once a week.

The most important thing is to go to confession. I personally go all over the place. The parish / church I go has only one priest. Sometimes he is not available for confessions on Saturdays from 3 to 5pm. Thankfully where I live we have a lot of Catholic churches so, it is not excuse for me to not go to confession. I have a parish like 5 blocks away from me but I prayer to drive 4 miles away from me. God bless you.
