Hello,
I’m planning on going to confession this weekend but I’m just extremely worried that I’ll be saying my sins wrong, I’ll forget about mentioning some sins, etc. I just want to make this a good confession and finally be in peace.
I haven’t gone to confession in almost 10 months I belive. I’ve been scared to do so.
I’m aware of comiting one mortal sin, of taking the Eucharist withought going to confession, but my mind tells me that I’ve done this more than once. Like I believe I was aware of it being a mortal sin once and the rest of the times I dont think I knew. This is how I remeber it: so before I wasn’t aware that you’re suppose to go to confession if you didn’t come to church the week before or if you masturbated (I know I feel really dumb now). So I think that I would still take the Eucharist without confession because I just wasn’t aware these were sins you would need confession for. Until one day I brought this conversation up with a cousin, and he said “you need to go to confession if you touch yourself”. I did some research and it was true, I ended up on a post about mortal sins / recieving the eucharist without confession. After that I belive I had just gone into confession and I was now aware that it was a mortal sin to do that. Church came around and I didn’t want to recieve confession because I had done so the week before and I was also embarasses because I kept thinking about what my parent would’ve said (something like “he just confessed last week”). So the it was time for the Eucharist and my parents were like “go recieve the Eucharist with your sister” and I didn’t want to say no so I did. I recieved the Eucharist with guilt and I refused to swallow it and I had skipped the Blood of Christ out of guilt also. At one point I did take the Body of Christ out of my mouth and placed it in my hand, I thought about throwing it away, but then I was like “How could I throw the Body of Christ away” so I placed it in my mouth again and swallowed it. I felt extremely guilty because I knew that what I had done was a mortal sin. I was just really scared of going into confession and that’s why it took me so long to do so.
Now I’m just worried I won’t confess correctly or I’ll miss something or so.
Like I just want to go ahead and tell the priest that I’ve comitted a mortal sin more than once because, I just want to be safe. But how would I tell him would I say “I’ve took the Eucharist in state of mortal sin” or “I belive I’ve comitted the same mortal sin more than once”, or 'I took the Eucharist without confession twice / more than once". I just don’t know because I’m not 100% sure it went like this, and I’m worrying about it so much.
Apart from that like I said before I’m scared of forgetting to mention a specific sin. I know I won’t forget to mention the big sins, such as mortal sin / masturabting / pornography / lust.
I looked up what sins you have to confess and found a huge list, so now I’m unsure apart from the above sins what other sins I have to confess.
I need any help anyone can give me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
