You’ve probably already seen my posts a million times (sorry) but I need some advice. I went to confession and I forgot to add something. If you’re meaning to confess something by a word, let’s say thoughts for dreams, does that count? Or would you have to confess it separately. ( I get really stressed over these things)
I’m a Christian but not catholic. I don’t believe you need to confess to a priest when you can speak directly to God and confess whatever you need to that way.
hi! i don’t practice catholicism anymore but i kinda know the thing haha😅 i don’t really understand you though, do you mean you forgot to add something to your confession?
Yeah! How can I explain this, so I confessed something, but I was meaning it towards two things? But I didn’t explain what the other one was? I don’t know if I’m explaining this well.
@Beverly yeah i got you. well, if you listen to what the priest says at the end, i believe he says that all of your sins have been forgiven, right? i’ve always known that that refers to everything and not just what you said. now, if you chose to not say a sin, there’s a problem. if you just forgot and didnt notice until after confession, you’re good
@lilyluna Yes, that's my understanding too. If you forgot, it's ok. You can always mention it next time you go to confession. My priest said to me that when priests listen to confession, they get the general idea about what people are saying anyway, so they can accept your confession on that basis.
