Hello Catholic forums, my name is Ash and i am a Chaldean from Iraq living in Australia. (I speak Aramaic/Arabic). I am a Catholic, always have been. I’ve been a lurker around these forums but i decided to join up because recently i have changed my life and i’m wondering if Jesus will accept me as his son again. I am 17 years old, i turned 17 three days ago 🙂

Yesterday i changed my life and my lifestyle to follow Jesus and his teachings.

Before yesterday i did the following things -

-Watched Pornography regularly
-Masturbated
-Doubted God’s existence 😦
-Very rarely went Church
-Swore frequently
-Used God’s name in vain
-Have a grudge against my family
-Annoying my brothers
-Hardly read the bible
-Listen to bad music

Yesterday, i made a promise to God and i will keep this promise with all my will.

From yesterday i planned to -
-Not watch anymore pornography (I deleted all my iTouch applications and pictureson PC, every single one.
-No more masturbating
-I deleted every bad song from my iTouch and PC, as they were a bad influence.
-Cut down on my swearing by 100%
-Read the bible everyday
-Pray alot
-I fixed my family problems, i know love every one of them, and Thank God for giving me such a wonderful family.
  • Say ‘oh my God’ way less.
  • Donate to charity.
    -Go Church frequently
So after all the bad things i have done, will Jesus take me back as his son because im changing and i want to follow Jesus till my last day on Earth.

If your wondering why i have changed my life for Jesus it’s because i read the story about Horas Muerta and how she met Jesus and she saw him crying because of all the sin in the world. That really touched me because Jesus gave a lot for me and this is how i was repaying him? I wanted to change so he wasn’t crying for me, but me crying for him. And also that everytime i do something bad i am making Satan more happy and Jesus more sad and that’s the last thing i want to do.

God Bless 🙂
 
Go to confession and reconcile yourself with Him. He loves you.
 
Hello Isa from a fellow Aussie.

Confession is what you need. If you truly repent of your sins and mke a good confession, then all your sins are forgiven and you will be in a state of grace. Confession is a means of gaining sanctifying grace, which will help you to grow stronger in your spiritual life.

Don’t despair if you relapse, and commit the same sins after your great resolution - go back to confession every time, and eventually you will develop the strength to stop doing these things. Everyone struggles, each person with different things, so don’t give up and keep trying to be better.

Never think that you are too bad for Jesus to forgive you. Nobody is too bad if they repent.
 
Go to Confession, then receive Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament. You are not strong enough to just use your own will power to solve all these problems in one day. But Jesus will help you every step of the way. Get into His good graces and ask Him to hold onto you and never let you go. His Divine Mercy is enough for all of us, Praise be to God. Welcome to CAF.
🙂
 
You have strong determination that is good but determination alone cannot save you. Every thing in your life is grace of god. You should have faith in Jesus and anointed with holy spirit.
 
Hello, Isa, from ANOTHER fellow Aussie.
All of us on CAF have committed at least some of the sins youve listed: were all in the same boat. And thankfully, were in Saint Peters Boat!
Youre among friends here; and we respect you even more for your openness. Dont be frightened to go to Confession, and empty yourself out.
If youre too embarrassed to name any sin: spell it. A good priest will understand. In any case, there aint nothin that a priest hasnt heard!
 
I’m praying for you as you follow the very good advice you have already received from others here. Don’t be afraid of your Priest and Confession…confess everything. You will be amazed at how God will strengthen you against sin.
 
Of course, God will take you back gladly 🙂 not only will He take you back, but He wants to take you back, and is drawing you to Himself, and that is why you want to come back as well 🙂 and He rejoiced when you decided to come back… that is what it says in the Bible: it says there is more rejoicing in Heaven over one sinner who repents, than over a righteous person who does not need to repent 🙂

Go to Confession, tell everything to the priest (don’t worry they’ve really heard it all :)) - and trust in God’s forgiveness 🙂 then after that, receive Him in the Eucharist.

God bless you! 🙂
 
I did all of the same stuff before my conversion too, in short yes God will take both of us back. We must trust in His Divine Mercy. You will be tempted but stay true to your convictions and pray very often. Go to confession often and pray daily. Stay close to the Eucharist, try to go to Mass as often as possible and go to Eucharistic adoration if you can. St. Francis De Sales recommends that we all spend at least 30 mins a day in prayer, unless we are busy then he recommends that we spend an hour in prayer 🙂 Remember where sin abounds God’s mercy abounds all the more. Two great prayers I’d recommend to you are the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, and here is a link to that:
ewtn.com/Devotionals/mercy/dmmap.htm . I’d also recommend saying the Jesus prayer which is a short prayer that is easy to memorize, the Jesus prayer is this, “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.”
 
God loves every single one of us, no matter how sinful we are. What matters is that you are sorry for your sins, and will try not to commit them again. Go to confession, talk to your priest and do the penance he suggests for you.
We are all sinners in our own way, and you have made a good start by taking steps to make sure you put yourself out of temptation’s way by deleting the pictures etc.

I would recommend praying the Rosary - contemplating the scenes from Our Lord’s life can have a marvellous effect on our thought processes.

Regular confession is a good habit to cultivate.

Don’t be downhearted if you fall back into old ways - we all fail at least some of the time, but God carries on loving us and wants us to seek forgiveness which he freely gives in the confessional.

Good luck!
 
May God’s Peace, Love, Mercy, Healing, Blessings and Graces be with you and to all!

Our Good Lord Jesus loves you dearly. He is always ready to forgive us all we have to do is sincerely repent for having offended Him Who is All Good and deserving of all our love.

Immediately go to confession so that your soul will be washed clean by the most Precious Blood of Our Good Lord Jesus Christ and He will also fill your soul with a lot of graces especially those that will help you overcome sins and temptations.

You have to be careful though when watching, listening or reading things about God or anything that may have some spiritual message, for we may think it may be alright but in actual reality it contains error that will do tremendous damage to our faith, to our soul and slowly lead us away from Our Good Lord Jesus and the ONLY Church He has founded, the Catholic Church.

You could never go wrong reading the Sacred Scriptures and the writings of the saints. It will inspire you and help you draw closer to Our Good God. The holiness in the lives of the saints, who struggled but persevered in their time, exemplifying heroic virtues even during persecution gives us great hope and great example on how to faithfully follow Christ and truly live an authentic Christian life in our time.

Praying for you and for all!
 
Yes 🙂 Absolutely Yes, remember St. Mary Magdalene, St. Pelagia, St. Mary of Egypt. (they are ex prostitutes.) St. Margaret Cortona (have cohabitated with a boyfriend), you can type their names on google to get a glimpse of their lives.

Yes, Jesus will take you back! You seem genuinely repentant - all you need to do now is to go to Confession and be honest and open about all your sins, and you will be absolved from them. Praise the Lord 🙂
 
Thank you brothers and sisters for your help 🙂 I will confess but in the meantime can i confess using the application released by the Catholic Church to confess?

God Bless 🙂
 
No, that’s horrible. There’s horrible secularism in the catholic church, and you shouldn’t follow that. The priests and members of the church aren’t faithful to Jesus’ teaching. Go to the forum of traditional catholicism and ask there
forums.catholic-questions.org/forumdisplay.php?f=102

The traditional mass used to be like this before it was changed to a new and rather modern mass
youtube.com/watch?v=enWiFcsBqIE

Go to real confession. Kneel in front of a priest. Be humble enough to do so, and ask Jesus the grace so that you can confess to a real priest.

If you use an “application” which is a horrible sacrilege, you will not get real absolution and forgiveness from Jesus. Application cannot replace the real sacrament. Confession is a sacrament and it is holy/sacred, because Jesus is present in each and every sacrament, especially eucharist and confession.

Don’t believe in everything that your priest teach you, priests are humans just like us and can make mistakes, even about his teachings. Imitate the saints and you will be safe.

The mass is changed by Pope Paul VI, if you want to know, from traditional to a new mass.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_of_Paul_VI

It used to be tridentine mass
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tridentine_Mass
And traditional rite of the sacraments in Latin.

Very sacred, solemn, quiet, and Jesus’ presence was felt

Eucharist is Jesus, he is present, body, blood, soul, and divinity. Full Jesus. Check out eucharistic miracles where the consecrated host and wine becomes real flesh and blood of Jesus

Please get a copy or read online the Catechism of the Catholic Church and some question and answer catechisms. They will help you find the why on questions like why you need to go to confession and attend Masss on Sundays and Holy days of obligation and many other truths.

usccb.org/catechism/text/partone.shtm

Please spend a few hours seriously-- and with prayers before during and after-- reading through the links above. It will be time well spent.

Nope.
blogs.reuters.com/faithworld/2011/02/09/sorry-catholics-cant-confess-via-the-new-iphone-app-vatican/

Catholics cannot confess via iPhone and technology is not a substitute for being present when admitting sins to a priest, the Vatican spokesman said on Wednesday. The statement by Father Federico Lombardi follows the launch of an iPhone application aimed at helping Catholics through confession sanctioned by the Catholic Church in the United States.

“One cannot speak in any way of confessing via iPhone,” Lombardi said on Wednesday, adding that confession required the presence of the penitent and the priest. “This cannot be substituted by any IT application,” Lombardi added.

Read Catherine Hornby’s full report from Rome here. Here’s a link to Vatican Radio’s report.

Some reports on its approval by the Catholic Church in the U.S. suggested confession would now be possible via iPhone. Our original story on this from New York included the following paragraph: The app is not designed to replace going to confession but to help Catholics through the act, which generally involves admitting sins to a priest in a confessional booth. Catholics still must go to a priest for absolution.
