Confession of a sinner who should know better

[theCardinalbird]

Today I think I mocked God. When I was committing a sin I thought that I would just go to confession after to be forgiven (I thought this while I committed the sin). My what I have done! I feel I don’t deserve forgiveness. I decided I’m going to tell my priest about this, and see if I should be forgiven. What do you think?

You sinned. Go to Confession and be forgiven. That’s what the sacrament is for.

I think this is one of the precise cases of what confession is designed for - not just to facilitate your forgiveness but to help you grow in your walk with the Lord.

Joe, I’ve done the same thing. The selfish desires just kick into overdrive and you end up thinking or doing stuff you’ll regret. Everyone is worthy of God’s forgiveness. Even the people who sinned far worse than you can imagine. It’s all about whether you’re sorry for what you’ve done and don’t want to repeat it again. Based off your answer, you can be forgiven. I always feel the same way with “I don’t deserve to be forgiven.” But, I always remind myself that I can apologize to God, and prove to him in my actions that I mean my word. Best of luck to you Joe.
