I am making my first confession tomorrow and I’m very scared. As well as making communication difficult, being autistic means that new experiences are very stressful for me; thus the combination of breaking my routine to go to church tomorrow morning, venturing into the unfamiliar environment of the confessional, and speaking to someone I don’t know without the aid of my husband/carer is liable to cause considerable stress.

If you have a moment to spare, please pray for me and everyone else who is anxious about receiving the sacraments.
 
Mother Mary, please make your intentions in this matter come true. Amen.

I will pray. You might want to tell the priest how you feel and about your condition; I’m sure he’ll be very understanding. Best wishes.

That sounds like a good plan. It’s important the priest knows your situation.
Best Wishes…to feel the forgiving mercy of the Sacrament in spite of your valid
concerns.
Mary.

I know what you mean about stressful new moments.

St. Christopher, pray for us.

St. Raphael, pray for us.

Cure of Ars, pray for us.
 
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left forsaken.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. 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.
 
Thank you, everyone! Bless you all!

I made my first confession this morning and the priest was lovely! I am unspeakably happy now, and so, so grateful to God. Once again, thank you!
 
Thanks be to God!

Lord Jesus, help Jennet continue to grow in faith and love of you! Amen.
 
Memorare (Prayer to Our Lady)
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in your mercy, hear and answer me. Amen

So glad it went well…
peace in Christ.
Mary.
(Nothing like hearing the words of absolution)
 
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
