Hi,

I’m a 16 year old guy. A while ago, I went to confession confessing to having watched pornography and I’ve gone nine days without watching it. I watched it this morning and I feel absolutely terrible. I can’t go to confession because my country is in lockdown. I read that I’m forgiven if I make a perfect act of contrition but I’m worried that mine isn’t a perfect one. I feel really bad because I’ve confessed this sin so many times yet I keep doing it. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

The best thing to do until you can get to confession, is to do an examination of conscience, and ask the Lord for forgiveness. You should have a firm purpose of amendment, and then put in place certain practices to help keep you away from habitual sins. Trust in the Lords mercy.

You can’t even call the local parish and set up an appointment to go to confession?
 
I’m very thankful to be in the diocese that I am in, because that is not the case here. Yes, at first things slowed down dramatically, but not for long. We just had a Solemn pontifical mass last Sunday that was HEAVILY attended. We never lost the sacraments(except communion for a bit), and in fact they made the other sacraments more readily available. I am sad to hear of other places though, around the world, that have essentially closed all the doors for the time being.
