How To Have A Great Confession | Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P.

Call no man father, for there is one Father and he is in Heaven. Matthew 23:9. Repent and trust in Jesus

Happen to me, too. Amen 🙏🏻

[@meme-sb7vr]

The more frequently you go, the easier and more complete the confession is as you become more aware of your faults and sins. Also, the priest is there in persona Christi meaning you are actually in the presence of Christ Himself (who already knows everything about you) fear not, His love and mercy knows no bounds!!!

[@MariaVas-jh2so]

Thank you Father, for working on this topic it's very helpful God has blessed you Thank you my Father and God.

My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments; but most of all because they offend thee, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly intend with the help of thy Grace to confess my sins to do Penance and to amend my life. Amen.

Yes, you are a nerdy, churchy, kinda Dominican doggie, Fr. Pine. God is so happy with you!! Great job sharing your special talent so we sinful plebians can be more pleasing to God as well. Thank you St. Dominic for nabbing this guy into your awesone Order of Preachers.

Was that an insult or are you just protestant?

[@AveMaria1917]

I am offended at this comment. Dear Jesus, please instill in people more of a sense of what not to say, etiquette and propriety and proper respect for the priest here present and priests in general.

[@convertpathwalker]

@@AveMaria1917do not be. Remember that St Theresa of Avila called herself and the human race “loathe some worms” not out of hate or disdain, but out of humility. Remember St Padre Pio was known to be blunt and chastise people, telling them to get out of the confessional and come back when they had examined their conscience. We aren’t babies, we are adults in a life and death spiritual struggle, and we don’t have to be so informal as self deprecating at St Theresa or as the above comments, but there is nothing wrong with being that way sometimes in the right context with the right spirit about it. Some people are nerdy. Others are more like jocks or hippies, know what you are because it reveals your talents and gifts and can help you discern what God wants you to be.

[@carolzappa1804]

Wow. I love this. It is great. And yes, I never thought a few Hail Mary's, or Our Fathers was very just considering my sins. God is So Merciful❤ P.s., I hated smoking. For the last 20 years of my 40 years of smoking, I would hide it from people. I never smoked in public; or in my residence. I was ashamed that it had control over me. I was completely addicted to it. I despised the stench of it. I despised how old and unhealthy it made me; both in how I looked and how I felt. Mother Mary broke the chain. It was her. I couldn't have done it without her. It's been 7 years now smoke free. Thank you Blessed Mother.🙏🕊❤✝️📿

[@chetmarcotti4953]

This has helped me immensely. I have been delinquent in going to confession. I have beat myself up fairly well, for not going to confession, and just do it. This this got my mind in the frame of mind to go to confession, and get it behind me. I have felt, because of the long time I’ve delayed, that God does not near my prayers. Some of my prayers are very important. So I have to go to confession very soon.

Thank you so much for this. I’m a revert after 40 years and I need this help. But I also need the word by word niceties of the exact prayers. I remember “forgive me father for I have sinned”. I use my iPad Pages documents when trying to list my sins. It's great to come back from confession knowing you are sinless ❤️✝️

[@Denali_Rebel]

I joined the church at 17 although I attended Sunday mass almost every weekend before I turned 16. I heard priests joke about how nobody would attend confession and did not know any of my Catholic friends or adults that would attend confession. I thought that with priests making jokes about nobody confessing their sins that it was not as grave as I have learned it is. After 17 years I’m going to confession for the first time tomorrow.

I'm waiting for my priest to call me to set up a time to talk with me I recently started going back to church and have not done a confession in 20 years or more. I'm a bit nervous but I bless the Lord to help me and I know he will. I was not married in the church so therefore I cannot receive communion until everything is taken care of. I have however been receiving communion but will no longer do so until this is Justified I love the Lord and he has done great things for me and I'm just trying to do the right thing by him thank you for sharing this has made me feel a bit better. God bless you

[@twentyninepalmdale]

I grew up in a Dominican parish 80's-90's, and NONE of the friars explained confession like Fr. Pine. It was no mercy, no help, no hope. In fact, I had a priest tell me I ruined my life...led me into intense scrupulosity and then a downward spiral of despair , self harm to stop myself from sinning, mental hospital, substance abuse etc

[@twentyninepalmdale]

Yes, I would regularly be given the "dressing down" of a life time and a little hint that "don't you think because you came to confession your sins are forgotten...they are not" which is true, I will have to show everyone at the Judgement all my sins, but did you have to kick me while I was down too? well, I guess that's nothing compared to Christ dying on the cross for my sins...but, damn, I felt so sick after my last confession, I puked in the parking lot

I have never heard an explanation of confession. I am a convert and I realise all these years later how little preparation to be received into the was actually given by the priest who prepared me. I am 89 in a country that it is difficult to find Mass and the church I attended used the confessional as a storage area. Americans do not think you are being deprived of access to the TLM have no idea what it is like in other countries Pray for us.

[@MyJerseybean]

Thank you , I am a convert also, of some 58 years now and although I had the greatest love and respect for the lovely Priest who gave me hours of his time in faith instruction of THe Catholic Church, The Sacrament of Confession and Prayer were not gone into in great depth and they are both so important. The Sacrament of confession is as lovely as recievng our Lord in the Sacrament of Holy Communion , and yet Catholics today do no go ? I am not very good but I go when a little voice inside me tells me its time and I do not like using the grill, I would rather speak to the Priest Kneeling before him so he can see who I am , not just a voice.

While I had exactly the same reaction as Fr. Mike regarding a flood of tears (even sobs) that I had to stifle so as not to disturb the others in the small theater, I disagree with his critique that it lacked explicit "God" references. I felt God's presence enormously. I am reminded that "naming You is all in vain." God is the unnanable. As beautifully shown in Exodus when Moses cries out "show me your face." God puts him in the cleft of the rock, covers him with His hand and passes by so Moses can only see him from behind. This is more, I think, our experience of God. We understand afterwards what has happened to us. I felt God's presence fully and quietly throughout the movie and as such was overwhelmed with emotion and tears. Explicit God references MAY have defeated the movie's impact on the unchurched or even nonbelievers. For the believer, for the Catholic, I contend that the movie clearly showed God's presence in Cabrini's life.

Father, seriously, I would be worse than a mess if following the "minimum requirements'" of One Confession & One Communion per year... The Sacrament of Confession is much more helpful every 2'weeks, if spiritual progress is not to be impeded/ delayed And Communion on Sundays+ Would be wonderful to receive Communion at daily mass - and those who still are able to get to a Mass daily ....would benefit greatly to do so.💐🙏✨ Btw: as a former smoker: I needed 15 YEARS of efforts to finally arrive at self-identifying as a non-smoker What makes quitting difficult: Over 100 pleasurable elements are mixed in with dozens of poisons, a few examples: Sugar, Chocolate, Orange flavoring Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove, Lavender, Strawberry flavor...

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 😇 Regular confession is recommended for approaching the sacrament and availing God's grace generously. 05:08 📜 Confess all grave sins since the last valid confession and venial sins for healing and grace. 08:09 📝 A concise examination of conscience is sufficient; it need not be overly time-consuming. 14:31 🤔 Contrition is a moderate detestation for sin with a desire for conversion. 19:31 🚪 Use the confessional screen for a more comfortable and private confession. 20:39 🙏 Confession leads to deeper intimacy with God and growth in faith. 22:01 🗝️ Memorizing an act of contrition can make confession easier and more sincere. 24:19 🔧 Accept and perform assigned penance for spiritual healing and growth. 26:24 🕊️ Satisfaction in confession helps us mature from servile fear to loving fear of offending God. 30:21 💬 Ask the priest to use prescribed words of absolution for assurance of forgiveness.

There were two doors, I saw the priest enter one door and I went through the other door. I was struck dumb. It was an open room with two chairs. I could not utter a word. Father gave me absolution but I had not made a confession.
