Hi,

I recently realized that I should be confessing the number of times that I have committed a mortal since (I had not previously been doing so). So, in order to be thorough, I “added” my numbers of big mortal sins from my entire past as best I could and went to confession yesterday. Right before confession, I realized I had “one more” to add to one of my lists, but I also knew full well that I had confessed that particular event specifically in detail in confession years ago. So, although I told myself to add one on just in case, I forgot during confession. Since I have confessed this for sure, but did not add to my “lump sum,” can I leave it behind me or do I need to visit it again?

I know this is all me being overly scrupulous, but I just want to make sure. Thank you so much!
 
Hi,

Yep, you’re being scrupulous alright. Forget about the numbers of past sins. Just try to remember the number of current sins.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
