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.
I’m having the need to confess that I was unfaithful to my girlfriend (even though I was not) because I drank too much Saturday night and don’t remember every single second from my evening. My OCD immediately goes to that I cheated on my girlfriend and I need to confess my sins. I know it’s only OCD, but the thoughts are extremely strong. Any suggestions? Thank you, community.
I don't really know if it's OCD, but lately I've been thinking a lot and in a very obsessive way that every single one of my actions, words or even thoughts will affect on how God will make decisions about my life. For example, if I lie to someone or yell at them out of anger, God will make happen something bad to me as a "punishment". I know it might seem silly, but it really really freaks me out sometimes... Does anyone feel the same? And if so, do you do something in particular to feel better? Thanks for your understanding❤️
I understand trying to find comfort in your thoughts but what can i do if i can’t keep these thoughts to myself sometimes?
