Hey Roxanne,.. I was in your shoes years ago. But, their was something that was holding me back. Ex- marriage , living in sin, Etc. and so on. But, something hit me and I went in front of the statue of the Blessed Mother late at night and told her to,.. " HELP ME " Believe me when I tell you ,SHE DID !! My life hit ROCK BOTTOM. But,..going back to confession, believe me I feel WONDERFUL when i go. I go every week but, I try to confess my past. Things in my youth,.. Then next several weeks I'll confess, things in my young adolescent day,.. And now I confess things I do as I'm old. I feel so comfortable talking FACE TO FACE ! Nothing to be ashamed about. Priest I knew said, we too sin,.. Once I started going, I got more comfortable. So please, DON'T WORRY! DON'T BE AFRAID !

@@markpridgen809 I returned after 40+ years and went to Confession. It was the best experience for me. It is emotionally draining expressing your sorrow for things that you did after so many years. It took a load off of my mind.

You are very much real Catholics! Welcome home!

Roses From Heaven the great thing about RCIA is that you get baptized BEFORE receiving reconciliation so all your sins before that point are wiped clean 😊

xbecks88 I thought that was only if you hadn't been baptized to a prior faith previously?

tony back to your original objection to Catholicism -if you are serious about understanding- I could recommend this very concise article www.catholic.com/tract/salvation-outside-the-church

Defender of The Catholic Faith Peter Augustine dude...why not explain to those disagree with this sacramental practice using biblical verse(s)? You do a disservice to Catholics by scorning others with self-righteous rants. You can do it. Find where Jesus says whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. It is Jesus who gave the authority to the apostles to forgive and not forgive. If you caannot find the verses, then watch Catholic Answer.

Defender of The Catholic Faith Peter Augustine Is there any need to be so rude? And why are you shouting? I’m not a Catholic but would never presume to lay down the law to those who are. Have some tolerance.

Welcome to the Catholic church!!! I am glad that this helped:)

A Catholic Mom's Life Thank you!! I’m so glad that I stumbled across your KZfaq channel. I have been searching for a long time even before the RICA program. There’s so much learn. & I believe your videos will help me throughout life whole lot!! -Liz

I balled like crazy. I started my confession with “Father, I broke every commandment…” then I explained each one.

Further, the sense of peace and relief and love I felt was so overwhelming that cried even more. I did feel pure.

I love that you do the examination of conscience every night! I think I might try to do that too:) Thanks for sharing!

A Catholic Mom's Life It keeps me honest, but it also allows me to see where God was throughout my day. I love your channel! Keep it up!

Hii I am agree with you

That is awesome!!! I am so excited for your family! Praise God:)

love it! That is awesome!

James Gibbs so awesome! Welcome home! I hope you experience the joy of the lord! God bless💕

@@ACatholicMomsLife oh I did enjoy mass this evening...I live in a new area and have found St. CLARE IN Roseville, Ca.....thank you again.

LOL good for you for going I can only imagine how that would be hard going to confession when it's not your first language!

Thank you:)

Why would you wait a month if you feel you have sinned? I’m not Catholic, just curious why you would wait so long

I know it can seem scary but there is something so comforting when I finish. Here is a great short video that Fr Mike did about confessing to a priest hope you enjoy:) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtqmndCktdO6oKs.html

Yes!!

Amen! 🙏🏿

sure you can email me at acatholicmomslife@gmail.com

It would be a sin if you keep having sexual relations with them. It would also be near occasion of sin to be in situations where you're tempted to have sexual relations with them.

It depends on whether or not they got their first marriage annulled.

The Catholic Church would consider that person is still living in adultery according to the RCIA teachings and unable to receive the Eucharist. Unless it was annulled, they don’t count the second marriage legit. Jesus forgives if we repent, but repentance means we stop living in the sin or it’s not true repentance!

I'm guessing you can, I have never heard either way:)

I have done that before. None of the priests have commented about it either way, yet.

It is not advised if you forget something that’s ok. God knows. What’s most important is your examination of conscience, as long as you’re not doing anything on purpose it is not necessary to bring anything written down

Candee Hansel I hope this video helped but it’s super easy call the church and see when confession is at your church and just go😊. Explain to the priest your situation and he will help explain the steps in the confessional😊. So excited for him!

Yes a priest can forgive a mortal sin! There is no sin the priest can’t forgive 🥰 confession is so healing I hope you can go soon😁

Him Bike wow thank you for sharing!

Never thought about that one... I guess I would ask a priest:)

A Catholic Mom's Life Ok thanks! I'll do that.

Really?

What’s the Casteism?

No, you don't. Only if you have mortal sin.

Sure acatholicmomslife@gmail.com

Nichole you know how jesus sent out his apostles to spread his word, cast out demons and FORGIVE sins? Well when Jesus died he didnt leave the bible he left his church which is a GIFT, remember it was the catholic church which compiled the bible but you think you know it better than the very institution that made it with the help and holy spirit? All priests today have a direct line of authority by previous priests all the way back to Jesus to FORGIVE your sins, bless you, and turn bread into the flesh of Christ (the most important part of church) I do not have the time to look it up since im on my phone but when Jesus said eat this bread for it is my flesh and blood THE LAST DAY before he died it was not a metaphor or a symbol, he repeated himself when asked by his disciples if he was serious and said you only have eternal life by eating his flesh (the bread) which only Catholic priests have direct authority to do, i suggest you look up Father Mike Schmitz hes a really funny and likeable Catholic that really knows how to explain the Faith but for that video its literally called "Fr. Mike Schmitz this hour will change your life" i promise you, you will become Catholic after that and the reason im typing all this out is not to prove people wrong i just want to help them like someone helped me when i needed it Thanks and may God bless you Edit: of course you should always pray and repent of your sins to god but like i said the Eucharist is the most important part which only Catholic priests can do, i didnt know the significance of it but i still wanted to do my first communion after lots of praying and asking god to guide me to him, then after a while i found that video by Fr. Mike Schmitz and i knew god was answering my prayers

You need to talk directly to a priest though you can be behind a screen or in a confessional so you will be anonymous. Face-to-face is often an option too.

catholic__love this is a) extremely important and b) a bit of a challenge to understand exactly what is meant. You might find this article helpful? www.catholic.com/tract/salvation-outside-the-church

There isn’t one.

Purgatory isn't real

Thank you for sharing Father!

I believe it’s a prayer. You can find it online

Yes that is true! Well said!

Heather maybe you could do a video about indulgences!

Yes, my priest told me to do something good for a person that was involved in my confession. There was more detail than this, but that was the basic idea.

I am sorry to hear your experience with all those priest, I recommend trying a different priest... Weather the priests are good or not it is just as valid as Christ himself is absolving you! Jesus can't wait to be with you in the eucharist! Don't let Satan discourage you from going to confession! And of course praying for those priests!

If you mean "saved" as in baptised, then all catholics are baptised. You can be "saved" and commit murder and not be let into heaven until you confess that sin.

I got straight to Jesus. Not some priest. No man can obsolve you of you sin, only Jesus can.

Nishwitha nishwithaK that is so nice Indian girls are so beautiful!

A Catholic Mom's Life 😊Thank you so much dear 😘😘😘😘😘😘

kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtqmndCktdO6oKs.html Hopes this helps:)

A Catholic Mom's Life hey I'll check out this link too. I hope you got my email I left on your other video.

Yes! I’m not a fan of the current Pope.

@@sashenkadumerve3017 What does it have to do with the question whether you like him or not? Every Pope is a sinner and goes to confession.
