but she’s still into having premarital sex and taking Adderall to study. I’ve tried talking to her about it but she just says that no one is like that anymore and that she has to try out the goods before she buys it. anyway she wants to come to church with me on sundays but I know she hasn’t been to confession in a while. how do I even approach this? or even should I? all I’ve been doing now is just like casually saying that i’m going to confession on such and such a date and you can tag along if you want. when she told me the other night that she had sex with some guy she met online and had a pregnancy scare and took plan b, I didn’t know what to say.

anyway if she goes to church with me, should I tell her not to take communion? I don’t want to say anything. I don’t feel it’s my place and I know she knows it’s a sin but I just don’t think she thinks it’s that bad. what should I do?

It’s wonderful she wants to come to church. Her conscience will form as she continues her journey home.

Just tell her until she goes to confession she cannot participate in communion. The rest is between her and God, even if she does participate in communion. You don’t need to go into details. Allow the Priest to do that in Confession.

You can be that person who allows God to shine through you to her.

I would not be discussing her activities with her either. If she brings it up, just say you would rather not discuss it. Change the subject. Talk bout something good in her life

Encourage her to come back to the Church, but tell her flat-out that this is a full time commitment. If she wants to live like a pagan, tell her that is not compatible with living in accordance with the gospel.
 
I would invite her to Mass and let her know that if she had questions about what the Church believes you would be happy to help her find answers. Leave out the judgment. Be the prodigal’s loving father and help her return home.

I wouldn’t ever tell a friend not to talk about whatever they want to talk about. I believe in being able to talk about anything, no matter how risqué. Either they’ll talk about it with me, a catholic who will try to help them back to Christ, or they’ll talk about it with someone else who won’t.
