BG45 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (edited) Sorry... I'm sick of seeing it too. Last time was "Forgive me Father, it has been four days since my last Confession". Edit: [quote name='OraProMe' date='14 October 2009 - 02:28 AM' timestamp='1255501726' post='1985045'] WHAT! ps. You could probably make appointments with the priest A good priest is never too busy to hear confession. [/quote] When I was a Baptist and in Junior year of Undergraduate Studies, my RA was a nominal Catholic who tried to schedule an appointment at the Newman Center with the priest there. He tried four or five times and never got Fr. J to reply to him, except once to tell him if he felt bad he should go get drunk.

Slappo Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 yay for confession helping! I absolutely HATE going... especially now because it is to my 1. old spiritual director 2. good friend 3. BOSS. Yeah... and on top of that if it is anything internet related (has gotten 100x better and just a semi-rare slip up now) he gets a report from it through covenant eyes... so he hears about it in the confessional, and then OUTSIDE of the seal he pulls me aside when the report comes in and says "so... whats up." and I'm like "YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHATS UP BUT IT'S ALL BEHIND THE STUPID SEAL!"

Good for you, though--if I knew my priest was watching where I went online, I'd definitely be more...selective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only person in the prof lounge not to pay for their choclate bar; got busted by the ex-nun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 (edited) Ah but is it slander when one does not realize it? Mortal sin requires both the intent and the deed. I was only telling the truth Edited October 15, 2009 by BG45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bus Station Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 My confession today began like this:: "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned; it has been two days since my last confession." I felt pretty lame. But not aftwerward I go once or twice a week. The more you go the easier it gets! That priest is just Jesus in disguise, and He loves you a lot... a lot a lot.

Starets Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 [font="Garamond"][size="4"][color="#9932CC"]There was once, back in the 90's when I started a Confession like this: Me: Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned. It has only been a day since my last confession, but it was a rough night! The Priest: (a few seconds of giggling)[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Innocent Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) [color="#000000"]Every time I go to Confession, my secret irrational fear is that the priest will say, "Not again! Weren't you here a fortnight ago with very the same list of sins? And a fortnight before that? Come to think of it, I think you've been confessing to the same things for the entire last year!" [/color] [color="#000000"]But it's never happened so far. But all the same, once I confess them, I'm always glad I did manage to confess everything without hiding anything.[/color] Edited October 16, 2009 by Innocent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
