Hi, I am a soon to be convert and I was baptized when I was 6. I am now 17 and I cant possibly remember all my sins before my first confession. I’m not sure what to do. I have sinned at least a billion times within that 11 years. Please help, thank you so much and god bless. -Jacob Thompson
 
Hi,

Many people who are a lot older than you have made general Confessions. Seventeen years is not all that long a time. Nevertheless, you are not expected to remember every single sin. When you have mentioned all the ones you remember, just add ‘and all the sins I have forgotten.’ Simple enough! You are in our prayers.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
