Levels of sins?

[Spooky7272]

faithfulSteward:

I have to disagree with that! Sort of.

Isnt a sacrilege a gross irreverence? Even though I go up to receive Jesus with the stain of sin on my soul, I do go up there reverently, heartly sorry for my sins. I receive Jesus with the hope that he gives me the grace to overcome my temptations, the hope that he will give me the grace to get over my embaressment and confess my sins (which is a whole nother weakness I am trying to overcome). So how can going up there as a sinner, with the hope that through communion Jesus will help me, be a sin? It might not be the optimal way to recieve Jesus’ full grace, but not a sin.

Steward, if you’re embarrassed about confessing your sins (and we all are! ) think of it this way: Which is more embarassing Confessing your sins now, or having to face Jesus with them at Judgment? Once I was waiting for Confession but was reluctant, and procrasinating, letting others go ahead of me. I finally asked the Blessed Virgin for help, and I imagined her saying “Go and meet my Merciful Son” Ask her to help you with this grace of frequent Confession. Sometimes it’s just so hard to get up and get our bodies into the Confessional. But here’s another thing, the more you do it, the easier it will become.
God Bless You and you are in my prayers
