Good day.

I want to go to confession but I fear that I might be unworthy to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation because I lack proper action for a sin.
As a college student, we had a group thesis at our school.
We need to let respondents answer our questionnaires for the gathering of data.
But, our group end up having approximately 40+ respondents.
So, some of my groupmates have answered our questionnaires or did some, I think not proper actions, and in the end, the respondents for our thesis was 63.
I’m part of the group and I feel like I consented in it because I did not successfully stop this from happening or have just “go with the flow”.
I tried telling that I will write 40+ respondents but I feel like it was already too late when I said that because we already presented it having 63 respondents. I also tried staying out of the chapter 4, where the results are discussed but since it was a group work, I think it was unsuccessful because I also edited some parts there especially in the formatting.
I feel like our thesis have so many lies in it because of the untrue data.
The thesis was already finished, it underwent final defense, revisions, book binding, etc. and my classcard for that subject had already been given.
In fact, I’m already enrolled in a different semester of the school year.

But I can still feel the guilt.
We shouldn’t have done it.
But what should I do?
I’ve been feeling troubled by this for some weeks.
I want to be reconciled to God. I feel that I am unable to receive Holy Communion (but I did and felt like I had made another mortal sin).
Please help me.
Can I go to confession even if I would not tell the truth about our group thesis to our former professor? Can I be forgiven?
Or only if I tell the truth to my professor will I forgiven?
I’m so confused. Telling the truth would also involve my groupmates in the case. The thesis is I think a requirement to be able to graduate. But it’s sad to again remember that our thesis seems untrue because of the data.
Please help me.
Am I living in the past?
I want to go back to God and live in the present moment with Him but I don’t know.
I’m feel so weak.
I also feel some dryness in my prayer.

I know that God is full of mercy and love.
but He is also just.
I want to trust in His Divine Mercy.

Thank you for any help :).
 
I could respond before reading anything othere than the title of your post.
If there is any doubt in your mind as to whether or not you should confess…CONFESS
Your priest is there for this reason.

But there is a situation at my post wherein I feel like I lack proper action for a sin.
Please do read my post.
Thank you for the reply though 🙂
 
Discuss with your confessor in confession…

(you may want to make an appointment…so you have more time to discuss things)
 
Absolutely you should go to Confession! Do not keep yourself from the graces of the Sacrament. You know you did something wrong and you don’t want to do it again. That’s all you need in order to go.

Once you’re there, feel free to ask the priest what the most proper way to make restitution for this sin would be. That’s what he’s there for!

God bless!
