In dire need of forgiveness!

[saintlouisblues19]

Hello everyone, earlier today I fell into mortal sin after several months of successful fighting my impure addiction. I am 17 and like most if not all of us, have no access to a priest during this time of pandemic. I am freaking out because I don’t know how many months it will be until I can go to confession. Is Perfect Act of Contrition the way I can be forgiven of my Sins until confession? And how can I be certain that my Perfect Act of Contrition is Perfect and not just an act of contrition? Any responses help thanks

Call your parish office or rectory. See if a priest can meet you for confession.

God knows of your struggles. It is a tough time for all of us. This will pass. This time will pay you and many of us spiritual dividends later. Do what you can to find a priest, and if you have problems finding one, remember God knows what is in your heart. He really does.

God loves you. He wants your soul to be safe and secure infinitely more than you even want yourself to be.

Peace.

Hi saintlouisblues19! Although I don’t know how to answer your question I will pray for you. I also urge you to try to get to confession privately with a priest. I think(very unsure) that perfect contrition consists of you repenting of your sins for God’s sake rather than fear of hell. God bless!
