I’m a altar server,
Earlier the Priest wouldn’t let me confess
I confess everytime i commit a mortal sin
He’s the Priest again on tomorrow’s mass
Can Priest reject confession?
 
Nope, its night time. And the near churches are far. The priests in my Parish are not there, their in another church. In short busy stuff

Please speak to this priest at some time when he is not rushing around getting ready to say Mass and ask him to explain why he would not hear your confession.

He may think you have a problem with scruples and if so he will probably direct you to confess only on a certain schedule. And if so he may also think these “mortal sins” you are confessing aren’t really “mortal sins”.

He may want you to come to confession at another time when he is better able to hear your confession.

He may have a policy of not letting the altar servers confess any old time they feel like it.

He may have been busy with something else and not able to hear your confession right when you wanted to make it.

We cannot read the mind of this priest. You need to talk to him or else find another priest.

In the meantime, quit sinning, then you won’t need to confess so much.
 
It’s helped motivate me! “Hmmm…if I do this grave sin I’m gonna have to drive 20 miles down to the one parish that has Monday Confession, or I won’t be able to receive Communion till at least Saturday. Nah, let’s just skip the whole thing.”
 
How often do you normally go to Confession? Is it possible that the priest might be suggesting you’re confessing too often, and for no good reason?
 
I agree with BartholomewB.

Sounds like the priest is trying to tell you that you are going to Confession too often.

How often do you go?
 
Sin is a voluntary act.

It is not easy for me to resist eating the entire bag of gummy peach rings, however, I know that if I do there will be a bad result, so I use my will to deny that urge.

The more we resist sin, the stronger our will becomes.
 
Hard to say what is going on there.
If, for example, this were a repetitive and habitual sin of the flesh you were confessing, the priest may be telling you to work on virtue, rather than repeatedly use confession as an “out”.
But I don’t know.
