Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
Of the Catholic kind.
It has been on my mind and squirming around in my heart all year, but the truth is I'm scared.
I've had abortions, been unfaithful, loved-up some lovers.
I know now these are acts against my Lord's wishes.
But I still find it hard to regret them, as much as I feel bad that I was so bad..
I really, really am sorry I caused pain
and I accept my acts are wrong
but if I hadn't done them, if I'd been perfect,
could my Lord love me any more?

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
What I will probably do is, talk to the priest first,
it has helped in the past, and I'm sure it will now.
I'm conflicted.
Sex without marriage, some love in a harsh world, how can I say it shouldn't be?

The ONLY confession you need is to confess to your Father in Heaven yourself. No priest can save you, only Jesus can.

That's true, we are taught to see ourselves as so blameless, as if it is only necessary to forgive yourself and you will be showered with all good things.

The priest here looks to be African, so no Rasputin for me, haha.

How was your experience?

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
Why confess to a fellow sinner? will a priest forgive your sins?

Confess to the Lord in prayer and ask that the blood of Christ cover your sins.
And then..as the Lord said "Go and sin no more"



Be at peace

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
I do believe you have to forgive yourself to heal and let go. There is something in the act of getting up the courage to go and saying a confession to another person that makes it different than just saying it in your prayers - it humbles you. If you have been thinking about going, it will probably bother you more if you don't go. I believe you are truly sorry and wish the best.

"Confession" is a trick.


Forgive and love yourself... you don't need anyone else.


As far as "the Lord still loving you", yes the Universe will always be there.

Is it weird you've confessed your sins already on 'God-like Productions'? Thats kind of like going to a priest.

It would be good enough for me.

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
I have been before, it is a tangible reality, to say the words to a man entrusted with the keys to heaven, the spirit of God acting through him, to absolve me in a way totally impossible to do for myself.

I'm sorry, but if you have never done it, you are not qualified to comment.

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
Truth is king..

Don't self indulge in what you think is wrong..

You have to get beyond the emotional and unlock your heart..

This is how the church gets paid and gains power by people looking for some emotional release and forgiveness..

They can't do it, only love in your heart will do it..


ANd the only reason your at this point is your heart can hear that song getting louder.

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
the church does it all the time

cause they have practice


its not all conspiracy, how about like a guy that is nice and belei ves and god and tries to alleive psychological distress and give hope

i know that is a horrible thing and its much better to "do it yourself" which is everyone';s advice - to a person wh is literally asking for it by contemplating seeing a priest

but what do i know

just an ol cathlic guy

Yes, why have a snack when the whole feast is waiting for you?

I can so easily forgive myself, but it is only one half of complete absolution.

"May our Lord Jesus Christ absolve you; and by His authority I absolve you from every bond of excommunication (suspension) and interdict, so far as my power allows and your needs require. [making the Sign of the Cross:] Thereupon, I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen."

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
The priest is probably a pervert playing with his pud as he's listening to you. God doesn't need some man mediating between you and Him. Just tell Him directly, He will listen. But approach God through His Son Jesus. Jesus is the only mediator between man and God.

Re: Seriously thinking I'll go to Confession
The best argument for the continued validity and authenticity of the Catholic Church, which Christ established,
is this:

"When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”
And they said, “Some say that Thou art John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”
And Simon Peter answered and said, “Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
And Jesus answered and said unto him, “Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father who is in Heaven.
And I say also unto thee, that thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build My church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven.

And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in Heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in Heaven.

In bold, the Church's basis for the sacrament of reconciliation.
