Please pray for me. I intend to go to confession today after 8 months of not having been attending church regularly. The sins I haven’t confessed are weighing heavily on me.
 
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

REMEMBER, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence, I fly to thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother; to thee do I come; before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen.
 
Praying that the Lord may bless you and enable you to make a good confession.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst 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
 
god bless you, i am praying.

i went to confession for the first time at the beginning of the year after being in the church for 10 years. was just too scared to and didn’t understand the importance of it. came out of it crying; it is definitely a good thing.

I have been wanting to go to Communion but have missed so many Sundays due to other issues, such as living in a small town and not trusting my confession will be kept confidential. People get bored here. Priests try to squelch rumors with the truth about people but mess up and end up telling stuff they only could have heard in confesssion.

Sooooo… I have decided to do an examination of conscience, some of it with my spouse who does not believe in the need for confession but supports my need to comply with the Catholic teachings. I will do a most contrite act of contrition and then go to communion with the understanding from my spouse that I will go to confession in another town, that does not know me, couldn’t care less about my petty sins and will not use my fallings as something to prop up their egos with. Do you detect something in my attitude that is not quite ready for confession?😉 It’s hard to be charitible with people who are so idle in their life that my life is used for entertainment in theirs. It makes it hard to be honest with the priest, poor priest, who is trying to be charitable with bored petty people.

I hope you do extremely well in coming closer to God in your confession. Please cherish your relationship with your priest who is able to cherish your privacy.
 
Please rethink your plan to receive Communion without first having confessed to a priest.

You need not confess in your town if you are uncomfortable doing so (but please have a wor with the priest about his habit of revealing what out be concealed).

But receiving communion while aware of unconfessed mortal sin is a serious sin in itself - unless there is a serious reason, for example if you are extremely ill and for some reason have no priest to confess to but can receive communion.

Do continue to attend Mass but stay in your seat at communion time and make a prayer of spiritual communion until you can confess. Do not receive.
 
Thanks for praying for me :). I should have gone sooner. The priest was so kind, compassionate, and patient :).
 
Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

I will continue to pray for you. Confession is a powerful contributer to peace of mind, body and soul. Think of all the graces you have received from confession.

God bless you for returning. God always forgives in the Sacrament of Reconciliation - you have no reason to worry. Just confess your sins in kind and number as well as you remember them!

Praying for you.
