I don't know how to put this

[Not_Sure_1]

This morning, I did something truly bizare. I was saddened by the sins I recently committed and began to plead with Satan to leave me alone, stop bothering me and let me get to heaven. I told him to let at least ‘me’ become holy. I didn’t want him to push me into more sins. Once I realized what I said, I felt horrible. Did I commit a mortal sin? Did I for a second break the first commandment? Confession is only a bike ride away tomorrow, so please be honest. I need to go anyway.

I am sure that going to confession will be helpful to you, and since you said you need to go anyway, hop on your bike and go. But please, don’t use the old Flip Wilson “the devil made me do it,” as your reason to sin. You sinned because you chose to sin, plain and simple. Just try to avoid whatever it is that is causing you to sin and vow to do better, and then stick to it. May God bless you and guide you.

Pleading with satan is definitely wrong but it sounds like you were mistakenly doing it out of a correct desire to avoid sin.

In a nutshell, in perspective, you mistakenly chose the wrong way to avoid sin.
You know God knows this…right?

Go to confession, but don’t go there beating yourself up all the way.

of course not
if you are starting to think things you do are sins without any good reason, bring that up with the priest in confession tomorrow.

I’m with Annie on this…

I’m not quite sure how what you did is any different than Jesus saying, “Get thee behind me Satan”.

In both cases you are seeking to get rid of satan and cling to God.

Unless the thing that bothers you is “asking” satan to “leave you alone” and let you become holy…

Yea - just mention it to your confessor…You’ll be fine.

Peace
