ilovechrist Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i haven't been able to go as much as i've wanted.. its been about every 6 to 8 weeks. i'm hoping to increase that in the near future, with everyone's prayers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp2_rules Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I'd like to go every other week, but my work doesn't allow that. So, instead, I'm stuck with once a month. Hopefully, I can begin going more often in the near future. It's amazing the difference frequent confession can make in your life!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birgitta Noel Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 (edited) I try to go every week. I am fortunate to have somewhat of a standing appt with my spiritual director which has a distinct advantage of not having to search for a priest etc. Those of you who don't have a regular confessor I would strongly encourage you to find one. It will definitely help your spiritual growth. It's also very importat to find one who is on the same page as you are spiritually! (and of course someone who is faithful to Church teachings!) I made an improptu confession at a retreat to a priest from the religious community in which I am considering becoming an oblate a few weeks ago and realized afterwards that if I had made that same confession to another non-community priest that he quite possibly would have thought that I was being overly critical of myself etc. and dismissed me entirely! It's also important to remember that we don't have to wait until we're in a state of mortal sin to go to confession. Confession is a great source of grace for us. After having made it a weekly habit I can tell you that it really makes a huge difference in my spiritual life. It helps to keep those lines of communication very open between me and the big guy! And besides, who wouldn't want that feeling of being washed in the mercy of Christ more often?! Edited March 24, 2004 by Birgitta Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebirth flame Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 i go to confession every week. it's a nice "recharge" for the rest of the week, if you will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morostheos Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I go kind of sporadically...once in 3 months, once a week, once a month... I suppose it depends on if I need it and if I get around to going. Sometimes when I really need to go is when I start putting it off...it's a bad habit to get into. I should start going more regularly. Then I can do the sin-free dance more often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birgitta Noel Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 LOL Moros, Is that anything like the happy dance that Balki used to do on Perfect Strangers? Uh Oh, I think I just dated myself...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-I---Love Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 I usually go once a month to Reconciliation - sometimes a bit earlier if I need to which unfortunately I do but it seems there is a very wide range of opinion among Priests as to how often one should use the Sacrament. And I agree that you don't want to overuse the Sacrament out of obsessiveness and a lack of understanding of God's love and forgiveness, which some people do, but the wide variety of Priests recommending different frequencies is annoying. I even know someone who was told he couldn't go more than once a week or he'd not be recommended to the Seminary when he graduates...I don't know though - perhaps it is a good thing that they wish him to not be "scrupulous."

master_alterserver Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I try to go once a month Question: Is there any grounds where a priest would not absolve your sins? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im4Him Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I try to go once a month, or more if the opportunity arises of I need to. There parish I go to for daily mass sometimes has confession before mass every day, so I don't have to worry about finding a priest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colleen Posted March 25, 2004 Share Posted March 25, 2004 I try to go every other week, but sometimes due to school I'm only able to go once a month. I love going to Confession. It's always a struggle to get in the door -- so many temptations, but I always have this feeling of relief and happiness afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
