Think I've got some scruples

[camkutz]

I’m just hoping somebody can put my mind at rest, because obviously it is literally impossible to get confession now that the Triduum has started and I don’t want to miss out on Holy Communion…
Basically I went to confession last about 9 days ago but since I’m in a situation where I don’t know whether I’m in mortal sin and thinking whether or not I should skip Communion until after Easter when I can get confession (I tried to go yesterday but couldn’t find a priest!)
Anyway I’ve had a few impure thoughts but not like spending ages on them thinking, like I’d think briefly then snap out of it and I’ve looked at a few pictures of someone I find attractive but not pornographic images, they would be classed as immodest though I’m guessing - but I’m not sure because I read that if you’re not sure if you’re in mortal sin you’re not?

Please be at peace. It does not sound like grave matter to me.

You sound young. Please get help from your pastor once Easter is passed. Tell him you are beginning to develop scrupulous thoughts and need his guidance. He will help you.

I think all I needed was some reassurance because I especially don’t want to miss out on Holy Communion during the Easter season! And everyone should know how hard it is to get to confession at this time haha
I will confess as soon as I can but I wasn’t sure that it fulfills the conditions of a mortal sin just never want to receive Communion in a state of mortal sin

Everyone suffers from scruples from time to time. Try to disregard them for the present until you can get advice from a priest. Go to Holy Communion. Resolve to go to confession after Easter when at the same time you can speak to him about your scruples.
God Bless
