Slappo Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Made it to Confession this morning...It was tough to go...God had to drag me there...I I kept repeating I don't want to go...I was ashamed and felt a lot of guilt...I have felt that way before but this time it was bad....When I got into Confession in the pitch black box I told the Priest I don't want to be here and this is difficult for me to spit out...He told me to hurry up lol Anyhow I made it through it and was glad I went when it was over....Me being sinner I am I need to go back tommorow...Thank God I'm saved by what He did for me and not my own actions or I wouldn't stand a chanch.... That makes me laugh (what the priest said) haha. I'm glad you were able to make it. It can be hard to go to confession no matter how holy or sinful you are. I think as humans it is just hard for us to recognize and verbalize our weaknesses. On top of that it's hard to make an examination because we're prideful and don't want to admit fault.

AnneLine Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Strangely enough... today is the memorial of St. Francis de Sales. I was struck at one point by St. Francis' de Sales observation that, while unconfessed sin is ugly and dark, once confessed and forgiven, it becomes something beautiful and filled with light, because it is now transformed with God's merciful love. I can't find the specific quote (it was in the Introduction to the Devout Life), but I know this to be true.... the feeling of being transformed by God's loving forgiveness totally outweighs the struggle to make myself get into that box. Spitting it out is exactly what one should do with something vile... so yup, that was a good piece of advice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Prayers. The whole pham is in my prayers every morning. So this is an update I'm not proud of. It's been 4 weekends since I posted. The first weekend I missed Mass. I had no excuse I just didn't go. Mortal sin for sure and unacceptable. The next 2 weekends I was there sitting in the back pew like usual. This last weekend I missed as I wasn't feeling well. Had a pretty bad headache. I probably could of roughed it out and went but I didnt. Mortal sin I'm not sure. Any how I need to find my way to Confession sooner then later. I can feel the darkness in my soul. God bless everyone and take care! Edited February 18, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
