Hi so a while back I went to confession for the first time in my adult life (went twice actually) but now that I’m thinking of it again I’m wondering if I’m over thinking it or i I need to confess some things from my past sins.
I have in the past lived in a very sinful way (watching pornography etc) but since I confessed this and haven’t done it in a few years I recently remembered another instance where I talked to someone online (chat) in the same manner but when I confessed those sins I fully intended to confess ALL sins of its kind but had actually forgot about this one thing. Do I need to redo it or am I over thinking it. Its a tough part of my life to constantly bring up and devastates me to do so, It was 8 years ago and I’ve been to confession twice but I don’t want to constantly confess the same kinds of sins when I haven’t committed these sins in a long while. Another thing is doing things like lying to benefit myself (I use to in the past but never really saw these as sins as I wasn’t as invested in my faith (I can now honestly saw I am a fully committed Catholic) but I guess I’m just looking for advice and opinions on this.
I do want to just say no, these things have been forgiven but also don’t want to do wrong in constantly bringing the same issue up even though sins of its kind have already been deliberately confessed??
Here is the thing, I know my sins are forgiven because I had a contrite heart and fully intended on confessing everything but my confessions have been generalised (not in number)
Advice or opinions are needed!!
