Renewal of Baptism Help

[Fifth]

So this may seem crazy scupulous but today after confession the Priest let me renew my Baptism as I’m really trying to live a better life and had fallen into sin. While he was doing this he asked the basic questions and i didnt hear one of the things he said in full and i still said yes, he then put holy water on me and it was done. I obviously agree to it as I know what being a Catholic entails and I looked up what is said during this process online and of course I agree and was so happy and overjoyed when I left. Like pure happiness. But there is a feeling in me that i felt later in the day, and that is since i didnt hear it to a tee it could not have been properly accepted by god??? I really want to live out my faith and become a good Catholic for myself and my future family (20 now). Just looking for reassurance because like I said im crazy scrupulous and a little bummed that I get like this sometimes. God Bless

You are scrupulous. Do not ask these kinds of questions online. It will not help you.

What you went through is meant to be a reminder of baptism. It can’t be valid or invalid. God isn’t some kind of machine we have to properly program to get the right outcome.

Get help from a priest and from a counselor for your scruples. You are in my prayers.

Thank you. You are right and I should talk to my Priest about this scrupulousness since it actually has been becoming a problem sometimes and makes me not think straight. God Bless you I’m just so happy to be back in Holy Mother Church and want to do my best!

That should be all the answer you need. Still, as the good father said, talk to your priest. Or see if he can recommend a spiritual director.
