I am headed to Confession in an hour.I am nervous. I tend to be scrupulous. I experience awful temptation to be feel too ashamed to make a good confession whenever I am before a priest. I then worry about the validity of absolution afterwards, wondering if I really confessed everything necessary or gave details that may exacerbate my guilt for particular sins, and whether I despised my sins or had firm purpose of amendment. Please pray. I almost never receive the Eucharist on account of this, haven’t in about a month.

Praying for you.
 
Praying for you, too, and may you experience the peace of Christ!
 
I will also be praying for you. Just remember that Christ loves you is waiting and anxious to forgive you. Just tell the priest everything to the best of your ability. You need not go into every small detail about every sin. If the priest feels he needs more information he will ask. Peace be with you.
 
Make a list of what you want to say to the Priest in Confession, so that will be one worry solved. Do you believe and Love the Lord, well now is the time to put it into practise,
through the priest he has forgiven your sins, accept this, don’t bring your dirty laundry around with you, its forgiven, you can now nourish yourself as Our Lord intended by receiving the Blessed Eucharist- your earthly body needs spiritual nourishment, and you are denying this to yourself for no reason - Just say Lord I put my trust in you, obedience is greater than sacrifice, and sacrifice in your case is denying yourself the Blessed Eucharist, obedience is doing what the Church teaches, you have gone to Confession you now can receive.

God Bless and Walk with the Lord.
 
I pray you make a good confession and feel God’s peace afterward. :signofcross:

St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.
 
We will all be praying for you! If you’re worried about forgetting anything, just write it down. You can tear it up after Confession! Just remember that it is Jesus who is there in the confessional waiting for you! As long as you are doing your best God will forgive you! Never be scared to go to Him! It seems to me like you really want to make a good Confession; if you are having a hard time just ask Father for help. Tell him what you are feeling.

But really, don’t let any of these feelings get to you; the Devil always tries to make us feel bad when we’re doing our best to follow the Lord, because he wants us to fail! Jesus loves you! Like it says in the scriptures, “I have loved you with an everlasting love.” Trust in the Lord and remember that Confession is a Sacrament of HEALING!
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray.

Amen.

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.
 
Went to confession and then mass. Received the Eucharist. Still worried I weather I should have been more precise on certain things (I laughed about how the evangelicals are so loud in their prayer services, therefore should I have told the priest I blasphemed since they are still praising God in their own way. I wasn’t brave enough to say blasphemy and I was not certain it qualified as real blasphemy. that kind of thing. Heh…see how my mind works?)

But I decided to tell Jesus,“I’m fairly certain I was absolved. If I am wrong and receive you unworthily it is not on purpose. In which case have Mercy. If I am receiving you worthily, flood my soul with every grace you want to give me. I thank you!”
 
St. Gerard, Patron of a Good Confession,
who gave courage to souls whom fear and shame had overcome;
who gave sorrow to their hearts,
resolution to their wills,
truth to their faltering lips;
help me to make a good Confession.

Enable me to know my sins,
to be truly sorry for them,
and to be firmly resolved,
with God’s grace, never to sin again.

Help me to confess my sins humbly and sincerely,
to confess them in the spirit of faith,
as confessing them to Our Lord Himself.

Stand by me in this Confession, O gentle Saint,
an angel of God sent to free me from sin.

Amen.
 
“If I am wrong and receive you unworthily it is not on purpose. In which case have Mercy. If I am receiving you worthily, flood my soul with every grace you want to give me. I thank you.”

I like what you wrote and your humility. I will use this as part of my prayer, too; so, thank you!🙂

Well done on your confession!
 
***Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among 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.

Great prayer when receiving the Eucharist! Thank you.

I know how anxiety producing going to confession can be…but WOW…don’t you feel great after. I almost am always in tears afterward- so thankful for the gift of absolution and also for some wonderful priests.

Glad you had a good confession. God Bless You and Happy Easter.
 
St. John Vianney, please help this poster. make a good confession and be at peace. Intercede and help him (or her) know that Jesus truly forgives our sins through the Sacrament of Confession. Amen.
 
Praying for you

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.

Glory be to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
