Okay, so I had been away from Reconciliation for a long time in college and wasn’t living in a Holy way. I got married and realized during our baptism party for my second daughter that I was in grave sin and never confessed past sins before I married my husband and just wasn’t in a good place with God.
I went to reconciliation and last night I felt that my questions about the validity of that reconciliation were justified.
But at the time I was really anxious and didn’t know if I was truly absolved because of a lot of anxiety I was feeling and had never experienced before.
Now, I am looking back in time and wondering if a really serious sin I now remember today was before or after this post-daughter-Baptism-reconciliation, because I am afraid I wasn’t forgiven from it already and I feel guilty and can’t remember.
During one of my times in reconciliation I opened up to the priest about an experience I had confessing a grave sin to God in the shower before going to reconciliation. I felt very close to Him.
The dilemma I keep having now is, do I have to repeat this “shower experience” each time before reconciliation to feel close to God?
My husband is a new catholic and the whole thing is wigging him out, and I have two little ones to care for.
I just want to be close to Christ, make satisfaction for what I’ve done to hurt him, and be a good wife and mom.
Does anyone have experiences like this? I know it’s very specific to my life but I’m just looking for a little peace. Am I scrupulous?
