Please, pray for my confession. Last time I was in 2012 dec.
I don’t know, what happened with my heart and brain. I can’t prepare for it. I lost understanding.
 
Holy Michael the Archangel defend us in the day of battle.
Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the Power of God,
thrust down to hell satan and all the wicked spirits,
who wander through the world for the ruin of souls.
Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone fled to your protection, implored your help, or sought your intercession and was left forsaken. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you I come, before you I stand, a sorrowful sinner. Despise not my words, O Mother of the Word, but in your mercy, hear and answer me.
Amen
 
Prayed for you:

Come Holy Spirit into my soul,
Enlighten my mind that I may know the sins I ought to confess,
and grant me Your grace to confess them fully,
humbly and with contrite heart.
Help me to firmly resolve not to commit them again.
O Blessed Virgin,
Mother of my Redeemer,
mirror of innocence and sanctity,
and refuge of penitent sinners,
intercede for me through the Passion of Your Son,
that I may obtain the grace to make a good confession.

All you blessed Angels and Saints of God,
pray for me,
a most miserable sinner,
that I may repent from my evil ways,
that my heart may henceforth
be forever united with yours in eternal love.
Amen.

I used to do some lengthy confessions. Then, I learned I didn’t need to do all that.

Now, I go through an “examination of conscience”.

usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments/penance/examinations-of-conscience.cfm

Then, realize, I think it’s even okay…1st commandment…1 time…10 times…100 times…1,000 times. If you’re unsure the number, round off.
a dozen times…dozens of times…

Also, there are a lot of times euphemisms for the sins. If one feels uncomfortable confessing, say, masturbation, a softer way would be to say, …self gratification, say.

I used to get into detail. Now, I see detail normally isn’t necessary. If a priest wants more information, he’ll ask.

Write it down in list form so you don’t forget anything.

I’ve had 2 priests compliment me on my confessions…one in the US, one in Mexico!

Well, the priest in the US said I was very thorough, or something to that effect, since I did a general confession. He said it was a very good confession. I covered lots of years, similar to yourself.

To continue, if it’s one of the vices…I’ll say the name of the vice…estimate the number of times.

I might just add a circumstance which would make the sin more serious or less, but that’s about it.

Oh, one more thing. I know it’s hard to get the courage to go after so long, but congratulations on doing this! :clapping:

Well, some priests seem to like the challenge of confession with people who have a great need for the sacrament.

Fulton Sheen said, “Hearing nuns’ confessions is like being stoned to death with popcorn.”

Finally, I just wanted to say I heard of one case, think on Catholic Radio, of a priest who actually **LOVED **to be the confessor for someone who had, say, not confessed in 30 years! He referred to those people as “the big fish”! 😉
