curtins Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 ok so being in a state of mortal sin and not being able to get to confession smells of elderberries. I was counting on there being confession at my retreat this past thursday but nope. Then I'm like ok I can go saturday at my church- didnt have a ride so now I'm looking at another week hopefully till this coming saturday when I can get confession which will make it about 10 days. Lets say I die in a freak accident in that time period- do I go to hell even though I was intending to go to confession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resurrexi Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 You can be forgiven of your sins AT ANY TIME if you have contrition rather than attrition and have the intention of going to confession when you get the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prose Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Wouldn't your mom be happy that you are going to confession? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christie_M Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) [color="blue"] I proly know how you feel. Just ask God for forgivness and pray that you'll beable to go to confession. and since your a "miner", it's really not your fault that you can't get a ride to confessioin. (just try not to get into that kind of sin again and use this as an excuse. ) Hope this helps ~Christie[/color] Edited May 2, 2006 by Christie_M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude, you just posted about it on the internet. Get your mom to drive. What's she going to do? Condemn you to hell. I'm sure she didn't grow up on an island with nuns until the day she married your dad. Give witness to your mom that you aren't perfect but you are dealing with it the right way. I'm sure that would be much more significant to your mom than being 'shocked' that you might have committed a mortal sin. The lady changed your diapers and taught you how to pee in the toilet. Toughen up and deal with getting your mom to drive you to confession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtins Posted May 2, 2006 Author Share Posted May 2, 2006 Its not her knowing about me going to confession- its just i think she'll think I'm being over scrupulous and that either I can wait till sunday or I can just make a good act of contrition. Especially if I make an appointment. I tried doing that before and told her and it was no. So I think I'll stick it out till saturday. I guess I could always look at it as suffering/ penance for my sin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
