Too afraid to go to confession

It’s too easy to lie to oneself. That is the sin of pride. Don’t pretend to yourself or the priest that you are not a sinner.

I don’t think somebody was trying to pretend they’re not a sinner here?

Confession is something so beautiful. So freeing. God really does forgive.

If you feel that way just go to another parish.

I was at a retreat once and the priest said that there is no need to be afraid to go to confession as the priest has heard every sin possible except one. He said that if he heard that one he would be very scared and that is if you went to confession and told the priest that you committed suicide.
