Back when I was in my early 20’s I left the church for a while. When I was 24ish I returned, but I made a horrible sin during that confession that haunts me day and night. I have confessed this sin multiple times, but something always makes me question weather I confessed it correctly. The sin I made was this :
When I was in confession I flirted with the priest in an attempt to get him to be kinder to me and help me. I was a very confused and worldly young woman at the time, and though I caught myself and stopped myself at some point, I did it. I made sure never to go anywhere near this poor priest ever again and I have made sure to pray for him whenever I remember him. I am deeply, deeply ashamed of what I did when I was young, but here’s the thing. The last time I confessed it I confessed it just like that. Just like I wrote it up there, however, I forgot to mention that before starting the flirting ( which was just me trying to look “pretty” and ”cute”) I had noticed the priest was nervous. I made a list st the time and noticed that I had written “ he was nervous” and I didn’t mention it. At the time I panicked, I was embarrassed, I didn’t know weather it was important to mention that part or not. Now I am wondering if I validated my confession. If the fact that I didn’t mention that he was nervous and that I noticed was vital to the confession. I am so deeply ashamed of this sin and am so tired of confessing it because it causes me so much anguish ( though I know I deserve every bit of it). Does me not mentioning that I noticed the priest was nervous make my confession of this sin invalid? Do I have to re-confess everything???
