"1 John 1:9-10"... "Weekly Confession" - St. Padre Pio Forgive me my sins, O LORD, please forgive me my sins. The sins of my youth, the sins of my age, the sins of my soul, the sins of my body, my idle sins, my serious voluntary sins, the sins I know, the sins I don't know, the sins I have concealed for so long and which are now hidden from my memory...Amen

[@iamtruecatholic]

Can we use this way instead?

[@St_AngusYoung]

@@iamtruecatholic yes you can. It is a beautiful act of contrition.

[@iamtruecatholic]

@@St_AngusYoung thank you, I know that father speaker wants us to be precise with our confession but in my side, I feel like there are sins that are difficult to explain or we feel a bit ashamed, or sins from our younger age that we can't fully remember but still think of it to be needed to confess, or some things that we may unknowingly think to be sins already. Also, there are feelings that we have in our heart that we believe needed to confess aside from our thoughts.

[@ThatGirlMoi]

@@iamtruecatholicif you are ashamed of a mortal sin, you still definitely need to confess it. A confession is invalid if you voluntarily withhold telling a mortal sin. And none of those sins in that confession will be forgiven since you voluntarily withheld a sin. However, if you genuinely forgot about a sin, it won’t be held against you. No matter how embarrassing or shameful it is, just know that your priest has most likely heard it before, and maybe even worse. Especially if they are an experienced priest. So don’t feel ashamed. Also, an idea I have is perhaps consider doing confession at another Catholic Parish where they don’t know you. So you won’t feel bad if your home Parish Priest knows about it. Although, at times they forget lol I hope this helps! God bless

[@vivacristorey4363]

@@iamtruecatholicThe above quote cannot be used as a confession, because it is too general and not specific enough - and would require no examination of conscience. It could perhaps be used as an alternative act of contrition at the end of your confession or as a general confession to God in private. St Padre Pio, being a great saint, would have known this. I'm not sure where the quote is taken from or what the context is as no source is provided. Keep in mind that mortal sins are not the same as venial sins. Mortal sins are what need to be confessed while venial sins should be confessed for our own sanctification - but they do not sever our relationship with God. Involuntary thoughts are not sins. Sins from your youth long ago don't have to be confessed if you don't remember them - but if you voluntarily withheld mortal sins then yes you would need to confess them. However, don't be scrupulous (the false idea that every thought and deed is sinful). Those who suffer scrupulosity are given slightly different advice about confession to avoid becoming worse. What I would suggest is to talk with a faithful priest about your concerns. Remember that priests are bound by the seal of confession. We should be ashamed to commit sins to prevent us from doing so; but we should never be ashamed to confess them. You can even tell the priest your worries so that he can guide you through the process. God bless.

Contrition is simple, admit that your actions are an offense to God, it’s not about feelings. The hardest part for most Catholics today is admitting their actions are a sin, such as sodomy and so called birth control along with deceitful annulments.

More of this! My conscience needs so much remedial formation and I don’t know which priests in my area can give good counsel.

[@Dean-qt3rp]

Absolutely excellent tutorial on making a good confession. I replayed multiple parts several times. Also, enjoyed this priest's wry humor: "Bless me Father for I have sinned. My last confession was 3 months ago. I haven't been as nice as I could have." 😆😆

[@Thoughtworld1984]

He is my former priest. Yes, a very dry wit. I asked him one time about the 12 years prayer of Saint Bridget. He told me that's akin to a chain letter. I didn't understand. He said, "Well, if bounce on my right foot while patting my head" or something to this effect... 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hello Fr. Kluga

[@MystoRobot]

Thanks!

[@carync131]

Im dealing with someone who is an alcoholic. Person loves to push my buttons & i get so angry. I confess my sin of anger as sometimes i say mean things. I know not only am i offending God, but im also making myself sick. So if i confess & the priest is talking to me about my anger, & i say im trying very hard, biut sometimes its not easy as im dealing with an alcoholic alcoholic no name mentioned thats wrong? My intention is not to blame the person. I blame myself for my reaction. So am i blaming the person? God bless

[@kiana653]

Is there somewhere we can get a transcript of the sermon? Thank you!

[@Oliveoil91661]

Yes If you look at the title, underneath it says something like 13h ago....more Click more and it should say TRANSCRIPT Click that and it will show you each line by minutes/seconds. It makes for a lot of screenshots, but I can't copy/paste. That's the only way I know how to obtain this transcript .

[@stephanielane1821]

I would love to have a good confession, yet have been told off at time's by the priest, and not given the time to confess, and told only the sins since my last confession. At time's I need to discuss sins that come back from the past, and worry me. And what if you can't tell the priest how many times you have committed a sin, if you don't remember yourself. I don't write it down, how can I say how many times. How can I find a priest who can help me with this. I just go to Mass and not receive the eucharist in case I'm in sin not worthy of receiving the lord in the eucharist?

[@antoniobaric5798]

Maybe you could arrange a specific time for confession. Also use "couple of times"

[@southernlady1109]

Usually you can make an appointment to meet with the Priest to discuss your issues. In Confession, you’re supposed to be prepared to list your sins and if you want, you can make a general Confession that covers any past sins you have forgotten.

[@shortstopmotions]

If possible, try to be the first one to confess one day .Because sometimes a priest can be tired after hearing many confessions. I've heard that it's easier to just name the sins that were committed rather than explain why you made those mistakes .

[@MetalMonster515]

I don’t understand why? The church doesn’t promote sacrament of reconciliation as often as it should.

[@AndrewAarvold]

I just got back from Medjugorje. The Blessed Mother Mary is with me. Her Immaculate Heart will triumph. She is teaching me the divine will. I'll never be caught without the Rosary.

It's just how he is. Don't be fooled, though. Father Kluge is quite humorous at times.

I personally love his delivery. It comes across as very professional to me. Like an orator.

[@EB-dm9fw]

My pries was peaking out to see who is there and he saw me being next in line. Is it Okay for the priest to see who is confessing next?

[@KokeeKola]

Just a guess, but he may have been looking to see how long the line was. If it makes you uncomfortable being seen in line, you can always let a person or two behind you go ahead of you.

[@wordforever117]

Not all confessionals are anonymous. I often confess face to face with a priest friend of mine. Whether he knows that it is you or not really makes no difference: 1. It is his job to hear your confession 2. He is very strictly forbidden to tell anyone else about it anyway

[@Proclivitytolife]

I am 100% sure that this priest means well, but this kind of homily is a huge stumbling block for those like myself who struggle with scrupulosity. Of course I am not suggesting that such homilies should not be preached. To anyone reading this, please pray for me.

No. I am clearly stating that Jesus gave His chosen Apostles the power to forgive sins, but this power is falsely claimed by all others.

[@southernlady1109]

Jesus gave His authority and power to His apostles and their successors, The Pope, Bishops and Priests in His One True Apostolic Catholic Church. 2 Cor 5:18-20, Jn 20:21-23, Mt 16:18-19, 18:18

[@EvaSchroeder-lb8lx]

@@Oliveoil91661 well, if you're not sinning let's say you enjoy doing what's right and don't enjoy sinning. You enjoy living righteously then you're not hurting anyone yourself and you're pleasing God then there is no suffering.

[@EvaSchroeder-lb8lx]

I actually do believe God wants us to be happy but the wrong kind of "fun" the devil promises is only temporary until we reap the bad consequences. Good clean fun is a lot better then "bad" fun.

[@wordforever117]

Yeh that is what heaven is, we are not there yet.

[@SandyL0uise]

Needing to mention forgotten sins along with a few other points here (in the first half of the video) sound very much like legalism. I don’t think this is a small matter. Legalism is peace destroying.

[@wordforever117]

You only need to confess forgotten sins if and when you remember them. Forgetting a sin is not a sin in itself.

[@kermierogers7876]

I'm seriously so sick of this endless condemnation. I seriously wanted to scream and throw my phone at the TV. I feel like I can't do anything right in the Catholic church. Nothing is perfect enough. So which is it? Do we have a loving God or one who is just waiting to pick us apart and let the Devil have his way with us??? Seriously, I can't f'ing take this anymore.

[@itruck96]

I, too, found it hard to humble myself, but I won't accept the alternative.

[@mrsc4421]

There was no condemnation, just a very calm explanation of how prepare for confession and to confess your sins in a clear and concise way. Father mentioned common pitfalls and errors in order that we can avoid making them. By making a good confession we receive an amazing gift - forgiveness. Why wouldn't we want to try to improve? Most of us were, I'm guessing, very poorly catachised, I certainly was. You clearly care otherwise you wouldn't have had such a strong reaction. I'm sorry you're frustrated. I hope someone can help you. I could try if I know specifically what it was. I'm sure plenty of other people who are more knowledgeable and empathetic than me would also be willing to help. God bless.

[@carolynkimberly4021]

Jesus told us to be perfect. The Church asks us to aim at perfection and be saints. Is this the first time you heard this? Being a Catholic is hard.

[@karonwoolger4420]

The Road to Calvery was hard, yet Lord Jesus walked that road. So we all carry our Crosses,the path is so tough, but HEAVEN IS WORTH EVERYTHING. No matter what, let's take the hard road n reach Heaven. God loves us all so much.

Well. God is perfectly just and perfectly merciful. Something of a mystery, I suppose. Just keep going...

[@francissweeney7318]

Your faith is in the cathoic church. My faith is in Jesus Christ. There is absolutely nothing from Jesus even suggesting that the catholic doctrine of " apostolic succession " is truth. Peter' instructions on the way to the kingdom of God are ignored by the catholic church. Your trust in the catholic church will fail you. Trust is Jesus Christ can not fail.

[@francissweeney7318]

Confession to anybody but God accomplishes nothing. Jesus gave the power to forgive sin only to His chosen Apostles. Supposed " apostolic succession " is catholic church apostasy.

Jesus only annointed His chosen Apostles which are gone, as substitutes. Do not allow the catholic church put itself between you and God.

[@jerome2642]

​@@francissweeney7318 How about this question: How many Protestant pastors are paedophiles ? It is really strange that some people think that paedophilia is EXCLUSIVELY a problem with Catholic priests alone (just because the media reports about the problem in the Catholic Church). Paedophilia is a problem everywhere, not just in the Catholic Church alone. If you pay a visit to any state or federal prison where sex offenders like paedophiles are kept, are you telling me that the prisoners there are all Catholic priests ? Listen, there is NO way anyone can tell exactly how many paedophiles are in the world (because paedophiles do what they do in secret), and so there is NO way to prove that there are more paedophiles in the Catholic Church than in Protestant and Pentecostal "churches". By the way, what do you think Jesus meant when He told His Apostles: "Anyone whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven. Anyone whose sins you retain, they are retained" (John 20:23) ?
