I've never been to confession, partly because I'm scared, partly because of my parents. My parents aren't as much into their faith as I am, and they think really different about certain subjects. Confession is one of them, my father says that it's not for him. I think I want to go, but I also have to find a priest that I trust and that comforts me. I'm just on a journey of faith and slowly step-by-step getting further into faith

My tip is to stay as close to the sacraments as you can. Go to confession often (you can confess venial sins as well), go to mass during the week days as well if you can, also talk to God all the time, make Him your "buddy", remember He is always with you. At night, I like to think of some things I could've done better and ask God to help me actually do it better the next day. 😊

If you mean the prayer that the congregation says after the priest presents Jesus in the Eucharist and says, "Behold the Lamb of God, etc." then that prayer is "Lord, I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof.
