In 1991 I went to confession for the first time, probably since I made my first confession. I was scared to death but also knew I needed to go. The priest was wonderful and I came out feeling much better. There have been long stretches since where I did not go to confession and when I did go, I always felt better for it. I believe our Holy Father goes daily. I now i try to go weekly to bi-weekly. I have come out with feelings ranging from nothing to feeling like I wanted jump and shout “Praise God”. I highly recommend going as offten as possible. I think if parishes offered it before every Mass more of us would go more often. Finally, pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet. It really gives a sense for Jesus’ mercy and it’s depth. When I look at the image I see Jesus blessing and cleansing the most wicked sinner I know… ME!

Question for anyone, Is it really okay to write your sins down and read them of the list in the Confessional?
 
Thanks for the encouragement and prayers! I made it through okay and my soul seemed to be doing backflips! I really needed that.

For those others that may be contemplating it, go for it! I did face-to-face without hesitation, and it was wonderful!
