I don’t know if this has ever happened to anyone here… but it’s somehow puzzling to me that I haven’t been able to go to Confession for a while now, though I really need to. If you’ve seen my other thread I’ve been struggling with my thoughts about the unforgiveable sin, and I really wanted to talk to a priest about this… but last Saturday and Tuesday, I couldn’t get transportation, same with this Saturday, and today I was going to go but it turns out the priest is away 😦 I know this might sound silly or superstitious but a part of me is afraid that God is angry with me or that something is wrong. What could the purpose of this be? :confused: do you believe that God is in control of everything, or do certain things just happen and we have to deal with them?

thanks 🙂
 
Everything that happens is either intended or permitted by God, and good can come from everything - see Romans 8:28. Maybe this priest is not the one God has chosen to help you. Maybe it’s another priest, or someone else altogether.
 
You should get to know St. Faustina and the Divine Mercy Chaplet. Read her diary and you while see His Mercy is over flowing.

Even St. Faustina had to wait for God to bring her the right confessor. Pax†
 
I would suggest trying not to read too much into events. (May work, may not). At the same time, maybe He just wants you to calm down (in the mind) and trust Him that it will happen. God does have a sense of humor (I see this every morning in the mirror). But I have NO idea what these events amount to. But God knows better than you that you really do intend to see a priest and confess and repent. Seems like you have given an honest effort in this.
God is in control if we let Him. Kind of like receiving grace only when we accept it. This probably helps you with nothing but I hope you can relax and know that He can and will forgive you of any sin. But remember “…; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” Take care!
 
Don’t worry about some unforgivable sin. The only unforgivable sin is the sin of final impenitence.
 
Take this as an opportunity to contemplate the mercy of Christ. Maybe God wishes for you to do this while you wait for your priest.

if you cant get tochurch then you could ask your priest to make a home visit to you for confession, you could even ask him to give you holy communion during the visit after your confession:thumbsup:
