The Truth About Confession

[@gabiafterhours]

NB: Smoking a cigarette is not a mortal sin. In the example used the minor did several things wrong. First he believed it to be grave matter... so he made a choice which he believed to be gravely offensive (in his mind though mistaken... he was making a choice to reject God) and did it anyways. Second... he was a minor. Third... he was stealing. Fourth... he kept it from the priest thinking he was keeping something very serious which is an insult to the mercy of God. That being said... if you smoke... I recommend you quit take steps to stop smoking. Your body is not your own. At the end of his life one of the regrets of St. Francis had was not taking better care of "brother ass" i.e. his body.

[@trishalyn]

Thank you for writing that. I have a question: in a similar vein, if you do something, even of grave matter, but are not understanding that it is separating you from God's grace, is it still a mortal sin ?

[@mrsB0915]

I’m not yet a Catholic, but whenever I think about going to confession and then hearing someone tell me that I am forgiven brings me to tears. As a Protestant I have prayed for forgiveness to God many times, but I still live with so much shame and regret. I yearn to go to confession and have that kind of peace.

[@st.josephphilomena6542]

[@mrsB0915]

I am finding my way. I have been praying the rosary almost every day for the past week. Yesterday I found the confidence to email the Catholic Church in my town and ask about their RCIA program. I pray for the strength and courage to walk into Mass this coming Sunday. It seems so intimidating to do with 2 small children (especially coming from a culture of sending your children to Sunday school) but I am feeling more and more convicted to go.

I was fully brought into the Church this past Easter Vigil. Since then I’ve gone to confession and the weight being lifted off my shoulders was near tangible and left me in tears. What you’re feeling is very real and I pray you come home, you’ll always have a place here. You will find peace. God bless you!

[@mariasanabriarubio4184]

When my youngest son was going to do his first communion, he was around 7 years old, he had his first confession. When he was confessing, he got emotional (I could see, it was an open space in the church) and I noticed he had tears. I thought the priest told him something, so when he came to me, I asked him him what asked what happened. He couldn’t talk, so I told him to do his penance. He continued to cry and so we left, he cried like 30 minutes and then was finally was able to talk and he told me so emotional this- when I was confessing, I saw a women and I felt so much love, joy and peace. What a special gift he was given. ♥️

[@annalisaspotorno3092]

This is so touching. When I read your comment, I immediately thought Our Blessed Mother came to your son because he is meant to be a Marian priest one day. Regardless, whatever God calls him to be, may he feel safe covered by Our Mother's mantle of love all the days of his life.

I don't know how, I don't know why, but of everything this was the video that convicted me into converting into a Catholic. Looking back I didn't even watch the video deeply, it was background noise, but having it on in the background pulled my heart into desiring to confess my sins even though I couldn't. I was in RCIA before the week was over. Thanks be to God

You are growing the virtue of courage, humility everytime you go to confession, these virtue also will help you with your struggle. I used to have this issue until I had my daughter I realised how sacred my body and her body was and I could never do it again though sometimes I would still have some lustful thoughts... I decided to wear the brown scapular for its promises not thinking at all about the impure thoughts I would have sometimes. I remember this particular day I was napping I had my scapular next to me but not on me because I couldnt stand feeling it, very itchy, I had 2 impure dreams and then I was fed up and put the scapular on and it stopped. I knew that I was clothed with her purity. I dont have a problem with that sin anymore I do get temptations they are useful to grow in virtue just reject them straight away and pray to Mary. Wear her scapular and rosary you will conquer💙

I have no idea how videos become “shorts” so even more people will listen to them …but this is definitely something that has got to go viral. I do pray for more priests and more time scheduled for confessions . I go often to the one hour sessions, and the lines are very long … I see that there are only five minutes left and there are still 5 and 15 people waiting sometimes. So this problem of incomplete confessions compounds when people rush through confessions.

[@jeaninecurran875]

Actually we need more hours of Confession. Most Churches near me only offer 1-2 hours per week . But there’s one Church nearby that offers 6-8 hours per week . I think every Church should offer at least 6 hours per week , considering all of the parishioners.

[@user-ks3qr5fk6m]

If you live in America, you do not live in a Catholic country. I remember going to confession and watching the priest just stand there by himself waiting for someone to show up. Whereas, in Mexico [a Catholic country], they have tons of priests hearing confessions while the other priest celebrates mass. Our priests are more than happy to make an appointment with you if you cannot make the confession times. Just give them a call and you’ll see. There is no reason for them to waste time when they could be administering other sacraments like the anointing of the sick.

[@coolcatbaron]

That's sad. We only have confession once per month, if you don't ask specifically for an appointment.

[@user-ks3qr5fk6m]

@@coolcatbaron We need more priests, more marriages and more parent’s encouraging their son’s to consider the priesthood as a vocation. Sadly, many parents prefer that their children remain close by and want grandchildren. Until then, we will need to make appointments. In my opinion, it’s better to make an appointment because we don’t need to rush for the sake of the people waiting in line.

What confuses me is that when I see God by reading the actual Word of God I want to change and stop sinning. When I go straight to Him in prayer I want to change, and my heart changes, and my behaviors change. When I ask Him for forgiveness alone, I feel His compassion and closeness, and I know He’s forgiven me. But in the confessional I have no peace, and I have little motivation to stop sinning.

[@Candis55]

Reading the Bible and turning to God in prayer and asking for forgiveness are all excellent daily practices, but especially before confession as an examination of conscience. I always feel like im walking on air after confession, like i want to shout Glory to God! But i wouldn't worry too much about the emptiness you feel after confession. Just keep going. True virtue can be accomplished when our hearts and minds are more firmly aligned by wisdom and knowledge than our feelings. God bless!

I think this may be the Devil. The last thing he (the Devil) wants is for you to be close to Jesus in Confession after He has invited you to be closer to Him through reading His Word in prayer. I would suggest you find a good spiritual director to help you with scrupulosity. This is how the Devil is taking away your peace so that you will be discouraged about receiving the other Sacraments. Once you are held from Confession by scrupulosity, you will also refrain from receiving the Eucharist for the same reason. Peace and God bless!

Try calling or emailing your bishop and explain the “a lot” problem. I know what you mean . Even when there is confession time scheduled before Mass, for us , the line is long very often and I’ve felt rushed because I’m aware that I’m not last in line yet the hour allocated to confession will be over in 5 minutes and then there are still 7 or 15 people behind me. Some churches allocate just 15 or 30 minutes for confession before Mass and the problem repeats itself and compounds when literally 20 people show up. Even when churches allocate one hours or a cut time for confession, because Mass starts right afterwards, I see it as not enough time and I wonder when they will add the second priest to the same time slot or add another time or day to the schedule. We need to also pray that more of our sons and nephews and friends become great priests like this one … and they allocate more time for confessions.

[@seabastianmattan497]

There are some sacraments which are inherently sacrilegious. The "Holy" Mass/Sacrifice is the foremost, being a sacrilegious act, being a diabolic act all throughout, performed as a pagan worship The second is Eucharistic Adoration, which is a pagan adoration, blatantly in violation of Jesus' mandate (John, Ch.4). The next one is Confession. Any one who practices it more than ten times or uses it twice for the same sin, commits that sacrilege. Although Priesthood is the most among all sacramental (evil) fruits, unfortunately one can commit it only once.

[@michaelpratts9197]

I don’t want to stop sinning, I want Jesus to replace the joy of that sin with His joy. If I just focus so hard on stopping my sins I feel so empty, but if I fill that space with something else, something better, someone who is meant to fill that hole in every heart: Jesus… then I know I don’t HAVE to sin. We go to sin because we want something else, we feel a longing for something, and we feel that we have to fill it because we weren’t made to be empty. Jesus Christ is the thing that fills the human heart, making the desire to stop sinning great, and then we share in His holy heart and desire not just to irradiate the evil but to promote the good. My gripe with the Catholic Church is the emphasis on avoiding evil, and the absence of direction towards the good. The emphasis on Christ’s suffering rather than His redemption and resurrection and victory. “It’s over now” isn’t the sentiment when it’s still going on every Sunday. Why re-crucify He who already died? Was His sacrifice not enough the first time?? I’m confused??

[@coolcatbaron]

Without God's love we cannot understand a life without sin. Through the stain of our sinful nature, we walk in the dark unless God's grace allows us to choose good. Avoiding sin in itself is not the goal, but reconciliation and communion with God. We can only long for this, if we believe that God is indeed love.

[@pathue1196]

@michael... '...don't want to stop sinning...', '...we go to sin because...' you want the joy of Christ (love and mercy of our Lord) to wash away yr sin (to cover yr sin)...hmmm, that sounds to me like 'once saved always saved' in a twisted sort of way. Catholics acknowledge we are all sinners but by the grace of God working in us we surrender in submission to God and cooperate with that grace to overcome our sins and effect change to our lives, to become better in thoughts, words and deeds. Confession helps that along.

[@pathue1196]

@michael... Catholics do not, absolutely DO NOT re-crucify Christ at our Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. It is the ONE sacrifice of Christ, the Lamb of God, on the cross that reverberates across time and space (of our physical world) because Jesus is beyond time and space. His death on the cross at Calvary was for the sins of the world past, present and future (otherwise Jesus could not have died for YOUR sin 2,000 yrs into the future from when he died on the cross. So, if Christ died for your sin, Christ died for sins of those in the past as well.) Our Mass is a re-presentation of THAT ONE sacrifice of Christ. We are just brought into the presence of that reality. So, if you can imagine at every Mass on Sunday and on weekdays in every church across more than 3,500 dioceses in more than 200 territories worldwide we are brought into the reality of THAT ONE sacrifice of Jesus on the cross at Calvary. More to blow your mind is that at our Mass, every Mass, Heaven opens and the angels and Communion of Saints descend to be one with us in offering this one Holy Sacrifice to God Almighty. We are the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church spanning across time and space, Heaven and earth in union before God Almighty our Creator and Merciful Loving Father. Take the red pill.
