Hello everyone! I just had a question about the validity of my confession. I am a teenager, so I’m aware my judgement isn’t the best yet.
Okay, so I went to church before Mass, and I was in line for confession. I made an examination of conscience, and I was ready for confession but when it was my turn the priest didn’t have enough time to hear mine.
So, after Mass, I asked the priest to hear my confession. I was nervous and I felt bad and embarrassed for asking him, because it was late, he had already spent an hour earlier in an appt with me (he was giving me spiritual direction,) and he seemed annoyed. I also am a slightly socially awkward person, so I get nervous doing things like this.
While I was waiting for him to hear my confession this time, I tried to remember all the sins i had in my mind beforehand. They were mortal sins. I remembered most of them, but I couldn’t remember the last one before the priest was ready to hear my confession. (I was waiting for him for like 2 minutes.)
And because I felt nervous and bad, I didn’t want to make the priest wait for me to examine my conscience anymore. So i just went to confession right away, even though I still hadn’t remembered that sin.
So my question is, is that omitting a mortal sin?
Thank you! God bless you.
