I am going to confession this Saturday.
I am 13, and I’m terribly scared, as I am young and have committed quite a few sins (see moral theology and please help me there also- "How to confess and permanently change ways)
I just want to pray that it will be a good confession, and I won’t be so terrified, and that I will be able to finally redeem myself after, and change the person I am.

First of all, here is an Examination of conscience you can print and mark what you need to confess. Taking a list in with you may relieve some of your fear and help you to confess all that you need to. But if you forget anything, it will still be forgiven. bereconciledtogod.com/pdfs/teensexaminationofconscience.pdf

Your heart is in the right place and you are off to a great start to changing behavior.

Lord Jesus, help this young lady to make a good confession. Please help her with the fears that she has. Give her the strength she need to make a good confession and to try to avoid sin in the future.

Blessed Mother, pray for this young lady.
 
Praying for you to confess your sins humbly and sincerely this Satuday. May you not fear the priest but look to him as an “alter Christus” (another Christ). If you forget to confess any particular mortal sin may you just bring it up at your next confession. May the Lord give you his peace and healing in this sacrament. Amen.
 
I go every two weeks now - first and third Saturday.

It was not easy at first. I know what you are going through.

I will go this Saturday too - at a weekend retreat. I will pray for you there.
 
Certainly I will pray. Remember, the anxiety beforehand is always worse than what actually happens in any event.

I wanted to sort of remind you that there is a reason that you hear that phrase about us being on a “journey.” Change of any kind doesn’t happen in an instant.
Yes, it begins with a desire to change, and that is where you are. And each day you give it your best shot. Some days will be easier than others. Be patient with yourself.👍
 
Praying for you my brother/sister in Christ.

Confession is a WONDERFUL thing. Once you leave with the love of Christ in your heart, your feel so muhc better. Believe me, my friend.

I’m proud of you for going.

Prayers your way.
 
*Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.*
 
Hail Mary, full of grace.
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit of thy womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
