Hi everyone 🙂
For quite some time now I came to this forum again and again to read and pray for whatever good intentions I came across. Now that I need prayers myself, I’ve just registered on the forum.

I’m 24 years old and was baptised as a baby but while I did have religious education for about 10 years, our teachers and catechists never told us about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We once had like a “confession talk” with one of our female catechists but never the real thing with a priest. For a very long time now I’ve wanted to go to confession but I was too afraid to go because I’ve never learnt “how it’s done” and because I’ve had a stutter for like four years now and anxiety because of it.

I am abroad now and because I might have committed a mortal sin I was convinced to finally man up and arrange a meeting with a priest for confession. This will take place in pretty much 12 hours already so prayers are very welcome and urgent. The confession “talk” will be in a language I know pretty well but don’t have much experience speaking it. I’ve told the priest all that I wrote here and he will help me as much as he can but still:

Please pray for my confession to be pleasing to our Lord and that I will be fully restored to a state of grace. For too long now I’ve abstained from receiving Communion, my heart is aching for Jesus in the most blessed Sacrament.

Thank you all and God bless! 🙂
 
**Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and enkindle in them the fire of Thy love.

V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created.
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.

Let us pray. O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise, and ever to rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.**
 
Welcome!🙂

Prayer to St. Gerard for a Good Confession

St. Gerard, Patron of a Good Confession, who gave courage to souls whom fear and shame had overcome; who gave sorrow to their hearts, resolution to their wills, truth to their faltering lips; help me to make a good Confession.

Enable me to know my sins, to be truly sorry for them, and to be firmly resolved, with God’s grace, never to sin again.

Help me to confess my sins humbly and sincerely, to confess them in the spirit of faith, as confessing them to Our Lord Himself.

Stand by me in this Confession, O gentle Saint, an angel of God sent to free me from sin. Amen.
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

Praying for a good confession. Rest easy. I think Confession is a most wonderful sacrament. God Bless!
 
Welcome to CAF, Helveticus! 🙂

Praying for your first confession…
O most beautiful Flower of Mount Carmel, Fruitful Vine, Splendor of Heaven, who brought forth the Son of God still remaining a Virgin, assist us in this necessity.

O Star of the Sea, help us, and show us that you are our Mother.

O Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, we humbly ask you from the depths of our heart to help us in this necessity. There are none who can withstand your power.
O show us that you are our Mother.

O Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Sweet Mother, we place this cause in your hands. Amen.
 
Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known that any one who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help or sought thy intercession,
was left unaided.
Inspired with this confidence,
I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins my Mother;
to thee do I come,
before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful;
O Mother of thy Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy clemency hear and answer me.
Amen

Hail Mary, full of grace,
The Lord is with Thee;
Blessed art thou among women,
And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
Pray for us sinners,
Now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Our Father,
who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Thanks for the warm welcome! 🙂

And thank you so much for all your prayers! It went very well. Although my stutter was as severe as it could get, I felt very much at home and safe there with the priest and our Lord. After absolution and penance I went to Mass that day too. What a blessing to receive Communion with confidence.
