I’m under pressure from a lot of things right now, including efforts to get me out of my place yet again and back to my parents place. Please pray for me to deal with this and go forwards not backwards. Tomorrow, please God! tomorrow, I will finally be going to confession and fulfill my Easter Duty, please pray that I remember everything that needs to be confessed never, ever, relapse into mortal sin again. Please may I keep going forward and never backwards.
I always make notes prior to confession. I have joked with my confessor that perhaps I should just hand him the notebook for his review- would help keep the line moving as I do have a tendency to go on a bit
Thanks everyone, I phoned both the parish and the priest, it sounds like the parish switched several priests since I last attended; the priest I phoned said I should hear back from someone by tomorrow, Lord willing, I will able to make my confession. Frankly, it sounds like things have become more messed up at my parish since I last went.
Praise be to the Lord! I finally went there and am now free! Now to continue with my journey of going forwards and not backwards, may I always stay close to Jesus and Mary along the way. I also really liked the priest at my parish by the way, he seemed like a really good and pious guy, please keep him in your prayers; I believe his name was Fr. John.
My best friend converted around 1982. We were teenagers. She was very nervous about her first confession (I was still Protestant). Afterwards I asked Bobbi, "So how long were you in there?" She replied, "Only about a minute." I joked, "You only had a minute's worth of sins to confess?? REALLY, Bobbi?!" She did laugh.
