Baptized Catholic. Have not done Communion or Confirmation

[mlz]

**I find myself in the same boat. I am a 62 y.o. female who has only been baptized, no confession, Communion or Confirmation.

I went as far as setting up for RCIA classes and then cancelled them. I have a problem with walking distances away from home (am agoraphobic) and on top of that could only think about going through my first Confession ever. How does one confess everything one has done in a lifetime?

I know what I need to do but I am held back by my own fears yet I long for Communion.

Hi,

I’m not Catholic, but since you haven’t recieved a response I’ll try…? I thing you could call a priest and explain your fears. Perhaps he could come to you. I would not worry about what you confess. Just ask the Lord to reveal to you as you confess and the words will come. God is faithful and wants your best. He loves you! Don’t fear him, but respect and honor Him by presenting yourself to Him…The Lord is waiting anxiously. I am praying for you.

Blessings,
mlz

**Will someone respond? Maybe I should have started a new thread, I don’t know. Did not receive any replies when I posted back in August 2007 either.

Speak to your local parish priest. He will instruct you in how to examine your conscience and prepare for a “general” confession on your life’s sins.

**Thank you to all who have responded especially Mr. Cepillo for your kind offer.

I will be doing a great deal of thinking about this. The first step is the hardest.
