  I've noticed that the more I go to confession, the more contrite  I become  each time I go

  Priests also need to allot enough time for confession.  If you only have a 30 min confession slot before mass once a week on a Saturday, and 20 people who need to go to confession, that's really not going to hack it.  I always think they should have at least one Saturday a month where they have a 3-hour confession session.  Then the usual shorter 30 min weekly confessions the rest of the month.  Feeling like you have to rush a confession because there are others waiting isn't a good thing.  We are not going to confession at the priest's convenience.  He's there to serve his flock in Jesus's name.  We're all busy, priest included, but there are things that can't be rushed and a good confession is one of them.

  When There's No Contrition, We Have To Ask The Lord For A Softened, Broken, And Contrite Heart--We Have To Ask God "To Make us Willing To Be Willing!!!

  it would be nice to ask our guardian angel in preparing the list of our sins. i'm sure our guardian angel remembers everything.

  Sometimes individuals have such intense shame that they shut down, numb out their emotions to avoid the overwhelming shame.

  Though this video is 2yrs old, it&apos;s one of the most helpful videos about Confession. As a new Catholic convert from Protestant faith, this is exactly what I&apos;ve been looking for.<br>Thank you so much!<br>Maybe it can be reposted for 2025, so many others can benefit from this wonderfully clear sincere guidance. <br>God bless you and Father.

  This is really a wonderful conversation; it allows me to deepen my understanding about the sacrament of confession. Thank you for this and I am blessed watching from the Philippines.

  Excellent episode. This complete what was left out in other videos about Confessions I have watched, like knowing about a sin we committed and that we know we need to change but not feeling shame or remorse. Very deep indeed. The Sacrament of Confession is a great Sacrament because is not only about forgiveness and growing in sanctity with the graces conferred in the Sacrament itself, but also about healing. It’s a shame so many Catholics are not aware of the value of this Sacrament because is not being explained and promoted by the Church, but the opposite with statements like: “oh no that’s not a sin anymore, don’t worry”, or “no need to repent God is merciful, He loves you anyway…..”. This is not pastoral or charitable but a disservice. Thank you for this video, I’ll share it.🙏🙏🙏

  I wonder how much of my sins I’m unaware of. Can we ever be 100% self-aware?

  Padre Pio provided daily confession for hours at a time. Many Saintly Priests have done the same. A good priest will always allow for confession when ever one of his parishioner seeks it.

  I tend to go over my past too much. I get anxious that I have not confessed properly in the past. I always try to remember to pray Jesus help me to know You are speaking through this priest. Twice by 2 different priests I was told in the same exact words as I confessed past sins, &quot;It is time to move forward, your previous sins have been . absolved.&quot; I was stunned when the second priest told me word for word what the first priest said. I still struggle with scrupulosity, but I got the message loud and clear . &nbsp;This video just reinforced that. I have to trust
