Hi everyone. In a few hours, I’m going to make my first confession. Is there any advice? How specific do I need to be with the priest? Thanks in advance
Remember, while some people experience feelings of relief after Confession, not everyone has those feelings. Make a good Confession and trust God’s mercy regardless of feelings.
You confess the sins and if it´s a serious sin then you should try to include the estimated frequency / number of times it´s been committed. If the priest wants clarification or any more information - he will ask for it, for the record; most priest don´t ask questions at all.
Remember that nothing are to great or to grave for God to forgive in Confession! Trust Him, He will forgive
