Frequently Asked Questions
What if I feel nervous about going to Confession? Or what if I haven’t gone to Confession for many years?
True contrition turns one to God and the Church in the sacrament
(CCC:1453-1454). Simply go to the confessional prayerfully in the faith when you are ready, by telling a priest what sins you are sorry for with all your heart. “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear” (1Jn 4.18). Recall, for example, the reassuring story of the Prodigal Son in the Gospel of Luke (15:11-32) and the embrace of the loving father. If necessary, speak to your pastor and he will be able to guide you in your preparation.
