Confession, again and again

I am very afraid but I know that I should go and do the confession - it's for the good and for the love of my own life... But I am very afraid of reaction of priest. What I know it is that PMO doesn't let me to appreciate the greatness of our God and simple things in life. Especially if you have demons as mine.. I remember when I had 36 days streak.. I was much better person in every aspect. It's really different thing, so I want very much to not relapse again. Sry for very poor english again. I just need to talk about it but it's very hard when I have phobia to speak english too.

 

Don't stress it man. And don't worry about your english. We understand and a good priest would too.

First, priests don't really remember your confession or associate a sin with a person. Literally every priest I've talked to has said this. Even if they did remember - a good priest won't judge you for it. That's the point of confession, is to release your sin to God - so you and God can forget the sin and start again.

Second, priests hear so many confessions of sexual sin - it's not as big of a deal for them as you'd think. Don't get me wrong, it's a very serious mortal sin, but when so many men and women struggle with PMO, priests aren't going to single you out or anything.

 

Today is a new beginning. Amen

 

I don't know what country you are in or if the priests are any different there, but here in the United States, I have really only had one confession in which I thought the priest was unkind, and even he still gave me absolution. All of the other priests I have confessed to have been understanding about the temptation we are up against and just want to help us on the path of repentance and give us the sacrament of Christ's mercy.

 

I have had the same experience with confession. All of the priests that I have talked to about PMO have been very kind. They understand that this is an epidemic.

 

PSA: priests are certainly vulnerable to suffering the same sins we suffer from. The sins of the flesh and lust are certainly not an exception. Try to remember that when confessing!
