The Miracle of Confession

I'm so happy I went to confession this past Feast day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. After 12 years of missing out on it. I needed it to save my life.

So true, Father. I sobbed my way through confession earlier this week. The priest hearing my confession gently helped lead me when I got stuck - and helped me put voice to my sin. Then he asked the Lord to rid me of oppressive spirits and heal me. I cannot begin to express how free I feel. I am so thankful for God's forgiveness and healing touch. Truly confession is a healing sacrament.

@@coleyod I feel like this power we speak of is solely based on the idea that we hype or talk something up that has done nothing. That being said God essentially does nothing in this world. I think it's time to admit that God doesn't want care about people at all. Truly and honestly because he's mad like in the Old Testament.

This really is crazy that this video came out today because of what happened to me today. A year and a half ago I went from a lukewarm Christian aka Christian still a slave to sin to being truly born again after surrendering fully to Jesus with a heart of repentance (turned away from sin). Since then I strengthened my armor by spending time with God, frequently reading the Bible and spending much time in adoration and church. But these past couple weeks I was slacking. I wasn't doing any of that much. And soon came the thoughts and memories of sin and before I knew it I had sinned. I immediately returned to God and kept praying but I felt the presence of evil with me and the thought of being with evil and not God was tearing me apart. All the churches around me only do confession on Saturdays but I knew I couldn't wait. This morning I woke up at 7am and could not go back to sleep. I felt the presence of evil in my room. I prayed but I felt it was obvious what I had to do. The church I go to had mass about an hour after. I knew God wanted me to go and He would get the priest to give me confession and that's exactly what happened. I cried being in a room with imagery of the saints. Yes I had accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior again. Yes I had a repentant heart again. I had done what I needed to do to be saved but I still was not fully reconciled. There was damage to the relationship and evil crept in. Once I got confession the miracle that Father Mike said happened. What could have taken days, weeks or months to return to (where my relationship was with God), was quickly brought back by the sacrament. To feel there grace, it's impossible to not cry.

I was baptised into the catholic faith 8 years ago. Last week I walked into my church and asked for my first ever confession. I was absolutely terrified and at one point was about to walk away before the priest arrived. I confessed and my priest was amazing. It felt a great weight was lifted off my shoulders and he advised me to do confession more often. I wish done this much earlier but I believe my timing was right when it needed to be. Mr Mike, your videos have been a huge blessing and I’ve learnt so much. God bless you.

I believe God knew we needed the sacrament of confession. Sin is so great, so powerful when not taken care of. It holds us back. We are not free. Jesus hung on the cross for everyone, because you are right Fr. Mike, the default is brokenness. I was a Baptist, then converted to Catholicism. I appreciate the sacrament of confession, because it makes me stop in this busy world, this distracting world, this evil world. I get to think, examine my conscience and visit the confessional. I went through a period in my life as a young Catholic standing in line for confession, thinking what am I going to confess? I'm a good person, what am I doing wrong? I really had to search out my heart, I thought I knew so much. I actually thought about others sins and used them as a barometer for measuring myself. Then, the miracle you talked about Fr. Mike, happened to me. The holy spirit revealed to me my true self, my sinful self. I then began crying many, many tears for the things I have done, not realizing how I was. I realize how I have sinned and how much I didn't know. Today, I enter the confessional knowing God's love and mercy for me, knowing I need HIM. God continues to restore me with a little glue and gold dust each time I turn to HIM. I pray the sacrament of confession becomes a revealer of truth for all, so we can come closer to HIM. I pray that each time we come together as a people for mass, that we believe that it is Christ sacrificed on the altar, the true body and blood of Christ, which Jesus willing gave us. Jesus knew we needed this great sacrifice, He knew we needed confession. Let's all pray that we can embrace these miracles by speaking about confession to others and the great mercy it contains. Fr. Mike is doing his part, now let's do our part as lay people. Go to confession, then share with other people the unbelievable joy it contains that cannot be found anywhere else on Earth.

Incredibly, miraculously enough I do know what that was about. Anyways, I figure you might like this one... if you take the acronymal parts of Tanakh and translate them, you get: Ta = chamber, guardroom Na = I (we) pray now, pls or to beg, implore Kh = courtyard, thread, or tailor It reminds me of a confessional. Sometimes I just want to scream out loud instead of silently. I actually went out into the desert once and did that. It felt like the 'roar'; the first utterance of Elohim (the dieties) and like I was breaking things in a sweeping wave of energy that was rooted in the fabric of my loins. I didn't like that feeling. I didn't like feeling the power of destruction and knowing that it came from my being, from my fabric. Maybe this is why Genesis 1 is hitting me so hard. What if all this world is was honestly born from the abyss of darkness and wickedness which Gen 1 indicates? Is it because I haven't incorporated and rectified this aspect of myself yet? But, how could I? Darkness and evil are too very different things. Evil shouldn't be "incorporated" (Jungian). Yet, are they two different things? Genesis 1 isnt seeming to differentiate:l So, are unrestrained, sweeping forces of destruction not evil? I suppose not. To call a hurricane evil would be non-sensicle. But, then..., the careless treatment of the earth which gives rise to extreme weather events, can even that be called evil? Not really. It's obtuse carelessness and definitive negligence, but it's not really "evil", per se, I guess. What then is sin if God Himself exacted our existence from that void? If, light itself is birthed from it? The "bearer of light" is a fallen angel for the love of all that's good, I mean, "What's THAT about"?! Smh. For real though..., what is that about? I guess I'll cut it off here cause I'm still angry and barely talking to you, Cookie;i

How does confession in silent prayer directly to God work for non Catholics?

@Life-er6mq 2 жыл бұрын

I struggled with this for the year and a half I had to wait to enter the Church (I was just fully received this past Sunday!!!) The best advice I was given is to pray the Act of Contrition, and to set up an appointment with a priest anyway and let them know you haven’t yet been fully received but would like to meet to talk about what is on your heart. I was baptized in the Presbyterian Church though I had attended many different denominations throughout my life. Ultimately, whenever I knew I had too much sin, I fell into the lie that the enemy tempts us with to say, “what’s the point of even praying or reconciling with God or reading my Bible, I’m not good at making God proud.” This is why learning about the Sacrament of Reconciliation was so beautiful to me. What a gift and a miracle to be able to be sure that as with confess our sins with a contrite heart, we walk out being absolved of it all as a saint-in-training. God can feel your contrition and your desire to be forgiven of your sin and he has already forgiven you if you confess them in prayer. But we can be that much more sure that in the sacrament of reconciliation that our perfect contrition absolves us of our sin through Christ’s name when we give a good sincere confession. I hope this helps!

Do I have to announce to the priest before my confession that I have been a lapsed, divorced and re-married Catholic ? On one occasion I was denied absolution because of my situation. I would appreciate some clarification. Thank you.

Not an expert, or even well informed on the subject, but I would think being as honest and forthright with the priest will get you where you want to go, which is full reconciliation with God and His Church. Follow what the priest says, and you'll be golden! ❤️🙏❤️

Hi Father Mike, I have a question. How do I discern if my prayers are being answered by God or Satan. I mean when we get desperate for something, that's all we want and our prayers are all about getting what we want. We also tend to manipulate our minds into thinking that what we want is also what God wants. This is a serious problem. Because, Satan knows how desperate we are, he is capable of answering our prayers and make it seem like its from God.

Here is a weird question....what if you have sins or things from the past that you haven't ever either truly or in detail confessed, BUT, you have gone to confession since and the priest HAS forgiven you for those sins and everything else from your past, especially when you have also received anointing of the sick...but you feel you cant confess again for fear of falling into a scrupulosity situation...? What do you do ?

@thefiringsquadtfs6392 2 жыл бұрын

I already heard a response to a similar question like this. Basically, it's not a true confession if you withhold any important detail of your sin. You must say everything to your utmost knowledge. Anything you forgot, or wasn't really sure if it's a sin, then it will be covered by that confession.

I was really close to God I was not perfect but still pious full of love and peace. Then I was arrested by 3 police officers on the street pumped full of drugs then dumped in a dodgy hostel where I didn't sleep for 6 months because the residents where playing games with others.- the previous person to live in my room to hang themselves.. _ I am angry at God - I want to change but I feel that God hates me - Why did my life turn upside down . I have a heart condition now from Redworth Projects Totnes. I cannot have a career as a Fitness Instructor. - I was all about clean living and keeping fit eating well reading educating myself I was writing a novel. I was compeltey giving to God and humanity but yeah he still threw it in my face. What was the point of being a believer when Satan found a loophole to destroy my heart and life. I was driven insane from 6 months of sleep deprivation the staff did nothing they allowed it to happen. I tried to take my own life but failed as I didn't take enough sleeping tablets I took 30+ I was one of lifes winners now I am a loser of epic proportion. I know I am pathetic and bitter but my heart is so broken its hard to dig myself out of this pit. If you have any advice I welcome it - or prayer. I don't want to stay in this pit I want to climb out of it. My biggest problem is I don't believe God loves me - I am just an experiment to him

@@rjskeptic5273 I reject the first statement, regarding beliefs vs. choice - before all belief is a choice, or a series of choices. Humans also have the capacity to change their beliefs, for example, every person who has ever converted from one faith to another. How? By choice. Try checking out Jordan Peterson's work if the religious authors don't suit you. I don't agree with everything Peterson has said, such as his insistence on defining belief solely on the basis of how you act. However he does an interesting job of explaining the religious instinct, how individuals form their beliefs, and scattered here and there how choices shape an individual's belief - or at least their ability to recognize truth. Particularly the "maps of meaning" lectures/book. As for what happens to you after life - the same thing will happen to you as happens to everyone else - absolutely everyone else. The confusions regarding Truth and religion in this world will no longer exist after life, and you will still have one final choice to make. So choose wisely.

Honestly, I challenge this church in the direction they intend to have their sin forgiven. As a matter of fact, there's truly only one sin in all mankind, and that's yourself. When you whole-heartedly express to God that you want to be forgiven, you find a starting point to move on with your life. That being said, once forgiven, always forgiven by living with that notion. There's something fundamentally wrong with continually seeking to have your sins forgiven, and it's the fact that you truly never repent. What's wrong with going to God yourself? What I'm getting at here is that there seems to be some sort of disconnect between God and ourselves. Which, I certainly believe these are just sheer common sense principles. We need to heavily rely more on spirit rather than a sacrilege ceremony. You guys are pagan in my opinion.

Owner = Your Hearty and Healthy Life on the Earth = Intrinsic and Infinite Abundance - Ceaseless Creator = 1 . (1 life, 1 breath, 1 pain, 1 sky, 1 earth, 1 wind, 1 thunder, 1 lightning, 1 water, etc.1) slave - Slavery = Men made thing in different ways like war, religion, politics, world money, wealth, assets, facilities, etc. and lot new more... If you are right then money and wealth are just for name sake to live abundance in the world. Save your precious life. If you want, think, change yourself or… In world, in life, suffering, disease, pain, etc. will be there for obvious reasons because none praying to the real ceaseless creator. All Religions & its God / which are made by men, fakes & idols. They gave you a fake and idol men made creator and cheating you. Selfishness = own and those who eat that fish their destruction also. Slavery operated in the first civilizations (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia, which dates back as far as 3500 Before Common Era). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BCE), which refers to it as an established institution. Slavery was widespread in the ancient world. (Today, Mesopotamia occupies modern Iraq) Both Christians and Muslims captured and enslaved each other during centuries of warfare in the Mediterranean. Islamic slavery encompassed mainly Western and Central Asia Many slave women raised their children without much assistance from males. Enslaved women were counted on not only to do their house and field work, but also to bear, nourish, and rear the children whom slaveholders sought to continually replenish their labor force. As house slaves, women were domestic servants: cooking, sewing, acting as maids, and rearing the planter's children. Later on they were used in many factories, instrumental in the development of the United States, where they were kept at lower maintenance costs Cheating operandi started years back and still continue. They said and you have learned about satisfying body/lust of world. The epitome of creations humankind’s depends - depending on other creation instead of real creator. Alas..... Mankind’s food habits, living style and carelessness are the prime reason for mankind's diseases and trials, etc. Emotions are not expressed in word of mouth or mouth but feeling, care, compassion and love; If this mixture is not there then not at all true or there is no benefit) According to the history, writings from the beginning idol worship have started instead of original - real one. Mid of it, religion, caste inserted to grab power, money, assets and facilities. Still humankind believes that and continues the fake and idol worship instead of true. Then they divided humankind. Men-made foolishness by fake on earth, (including yours) 225+, human made religions and their idols worship. Fake 33000 - 35000 crore God, Jesus, Allah, Parsee, Jainism, Sikhism, Buddhism, atheism etc. None of these are true. Dance in the foolishness of men. The God, Jesus, Allah; of Heaven and the things related to it are Men made fake and idols and the real is Ceaseless Creator of Elysium Not knowing the important point Civilization describes a complex way of life that came about as people began to develop networks of urban settlements. The people leading the religion; not even telling the truth Self respect. Self awareness. Not knowing about self, Not knowing about own Interminable Ceaseless Creator. Knowing own individuality. Realizing own responsibility and general responsibilities instead of thinking to capture World thereby adapt selfishness and greed. Everything starts with you as an individual. Change... Why you are forgetting to remember the 'important' point that humankind is the epitome of all creations of ceaseless creator of Elysium. Life = is in whole body and in all body parts. The soul; Men made foolish thing. Life is enjoyable, but they sadly delivered it, and mankind believes it, and mankind does not really try; Feeling we have 'Run out live like that’ emotionally. In doing so, mankind is supported to fulfill their selfishness and greed. Oops ... For their Divide and Rule policy. You are adoring - worshiping men made fake and idol. Learn history.
