I went to confession today and the Priest told me to do the rosary as my penance. So I went back home and did the rosary I’m still learning to do the rosary but if I would miss a bead would that be considered sinful and not make it a valid confession?
 
No. Absolution is granted when the priest absolves you. Let’s say you forgot your penance and substituted some other prayers - you’re still absolved. If you deliberately do not do the penance, well, that would be something to mention in your next confession.
 
If you are scrupulous a good rule is to do the penance as best you can and leave it at that. Don’t repeat it.
 
Thank you I am pretty Scrupulous especially over the summer its been getting better. 😃 surprisingly I barely had any bad thoughts during my Penance 😃 which I was happy Thank you for replying.
 
I also forgot a sin today Confession I didn’t mean to forget I was gonna say but I was just concentrated on others that I forgot it. Opinion on this? and thanks again ;d
 
If you forgot it unintentionally it was absolved, but I personally would mention it at the next confession. This happens to me a lot.
