Hey forums, I’d like all who read this to pray that I will return to the Church soon. I would but for some reason don’t have an urge to. Im not an atheist, I believe everything the Church teaches, but don’t have an urge to go back. I would start by going to confession, but the problem is Im not sorry for the serious sins Ive committed the past few months. Please pray I will get an urge to come back and that I will feel sorrow for my sins. Thanks

You already have the urge or you would not be posting here…👍

I’ve been there…

As for not being sorry for past sins…this IS a difficult issue but I must say that when I returned to the Church I was not as sorry as I should have been for my past (and it was 35 years)…but as I returned tot he Church, taking my faith seriously, studying and posting here…I came to understand and regret more and more fully my past sins.

That is not to say that I don’t still struggle a bit…you see one of my greatest blessings came to me by way of some pretty serious sin - I won’t go into the details but It can still be troubling…

But I’ve reformed…and I leave the rest to God.

But yes indeed you have my prayers…

Peace
James
 
It’s great to hear your resolve to return! I will indeed pray for you, seeking aid for you in overcoming your remaining issues. Thanks for bringing your situation to folks’ attention, and keep us posted!
 
Well, our faith and being sorry for your sins are not really about feelings… pray to God to grant you the strength to go back to Church and for the graces you most need, and pray that He’ll help you make a true contrition for your sins, and defiantly pray a Holy Rosary for those intentions, remember satan wants to keep you out of the Church at all costs, don’t let him keep you from what we as humans are made for, we are made to love and serve God, we won’t be truly happy till we serve Him,

I pray for you, may Christ, our Lord bless you (:
 
Was it St. Augustine who prayed, “Lord, make me pure, but not yet?” 😉

May Our Lord grant you enlightenment, contrition and pardon of your sins. May you come to embrace the fulness of truth and live the true Faith, the Faith that martyrs have died for. Amen.
