This past Easter I converted. I had my first confession a few days before Easter.
I was so nervous I thought my legs would give way walking to the Priest’s office after
our RCIA class.

I had prepared and thought about this for weeks but when we got to his office and nerves took over, and I could hear office staff laughing and moving outside the office I became
even more nervous and distracted.

At the time, I felt I had confessed everything but have just realized in the last few weeks that there are some “big ones” that I honestly forgot and things I didn’t remember. I find the more I pray and focus on doing the right thing the more I realize the wrong I have done in the past.

I fear now, that my confession was NOT valid and I should not be receiving communion

What do I do about mass tomorrow?
 
Hi,

All your sins were forgiven when you went to Confession–even the ones you forgot. However, the next time you go to Confession, mention the ones you forgot–not because they haven’t been forgiven, but as an expression of sorrow and repentance.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
