Scofizzle Posted August 31, 2004 Share Posted August 31, 2004 I recently had a penance that was prolonged over an entire month. I has to reflect for 5 minutes a day on how much God loved me. I did this for about 3/4 of the month then it slipped me one day and I forgot. Does this nulify my confession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLAZEr Posted September 1, 2004 Share Posted September 1, 2004 Sco, As long as you try to complete your penance with good intention, you are fine. Maybe the next time you get a penance that is supposed to be drawn out over several weeks you should mention to the priest that you have had difficulty completing those types of penances in the past. Either way, your penance is not invalidated if you inadvertently don't finish your penance. The only problem would be if someone did not intend to perform a penance thereby implying that you really did not have the contrition necessary for a good confession.
