It's been a while since you posted this but I'm glad you found this video helpful. I made it for my First Communion children who sometimes cry because they are so scared! There is no reason to let fear or nervousness stop you from confession. It is normal. The best part is that the priest is only standing in for our loving, merciful Lord -Jesus. He makes it all worthwhile and you truly feel forgiven.
The prayer is different. All We say here in New Zealand is: Oh my God, I am sorry I have sinned against you, with your help, I will not sin again. Amen . This is a very good way to explain to children.
I’m doing my first confession next Sunday and I think this really helped calm my nerves and made me understand how to do confession. Thank you for this video 🙏❤️
I needed to see this video. My faith in God has been severely damaged and I feel like this is my last chance to be able to get back in. As a child, I was really catholic, though I never got the chance to confess. Now I'm 13-14 and I want to start learning this asap because of corona, everything was canceled so no classes to teach me. Thank God my mom told me it was today, so I reviewed this video just to prepare me Thank you
hey are you down to join a christian/catholic group chat? We’re also into tryna come into christ and know him and his true church better. If you want to join just dm @love_stealth on instagram 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Your conscience is God speaking to you. Never ignore it. Stay on the straight and narrow path Jesus has trodden for you to follow in His footsteps. Godspeed.
My Mom was interested how things went after my first confession when I was 12 back in the 1980's, and the reality was that I had no idea what to confess. I explained that the priest prompted me by asking "what about lies?" My mother asked "what did you do?" to which I replied, "I told him some." I wasn't trying to do anything wrong, I just didn't want to screw it up and so confessed to some well crafted, but fake sins. When I later confessed that my first confession was all lies, the priest laughed and gave me one One Our Father to say.
This is actually my confession before my first communion and I forgot how to do a confession and I have to do it today. This is my 4th year doing catholic school because my 3rd and final year got corrupted by covid and I decided to take the year again to help me learn more stuff I did not learn in my 3rd year. At first I thought it was not worth it. I don’t regret re-doing the year. Anyone who is doing there first confession just know Ik how scared you must be because I was too but one thing that I have to tell you is you can do it! Its not as hard as it seems. YOU GOT THIS!!
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I WATCHED THIS VIDEO. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR WAYS TO RETURN TO SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION AND I REALLY NEED PREPARATION. THIS VIDEO IS A SUCH A GREAT HELP. (AND I WAS CAUGHT BY SURPRISE WHEN I HEARD THE NAME OF THE GIRL. I WAS STOUNDED.) GOD BLESS TO ALL...
Msgr. Ed!!! I was looking for videos for my second graders and stumbled upon this video. I immediately knew it was my old Pastor Msgr. Ed . Thank you so much for making this! It is going to be so helpful as I introduce my students to this sacrament. God Bless!
Thank you so much for this video. I am twelve and recently started going to a Catholic school, I have not been to confession in five years and have forgotten how to go so this really helps me. Thank you
I received my First Confession in the Spring of 1989. I received my First Holy Communion in April of 1990. However, I am terrified of going to Confession ever again, because a priest asked me: "why are you here?", when I tried confessing my sins. I tried confessing my sins, but the very same priest snapped at me, and said: "stop that!!!!! Now continue with your Confession!!!!!" After that, I burst out of Confession in tears, sobbing my eyes out, and on occasion, friends have tried taking me to Confession, but every time I approach Confession, I stop stock still, turn around, and leave as fast as I can. I understand this sounds unbelievable, but this priest was rude to me in Confession. Aren't priests supposed to be like Jesus? And would Jesus ask why anyone is at Confession? Absolutely NOT.
I am sorry that the priest spoke to you like that. Yes, they are supposed to be like Jesus -- in fact, aren't we all supposed to be like Jesus? --yet we fail. I suggest that now, 30+ years later, you no longer allow that one flawed, human priest (or the memory of it) to get in the way of the merciful and forgiving Jesus who is waiting to meet you in the Sacrament of Confession. You can choose any priest you want for Confession but it is Jesus himself who forgives in that Sacrament. Go to the Sacrament for a loving encounter with Jesus (the priest is only his stand in) and don't fixate on that awful experience. Perhaps before you go, pray for that priest who gave you a hard time and ask God to help you to forgive him in your heart and heal your heart. In fact, you may want to share that awful experience with the priest during confession so you may let go of it. I will pray that you have the courage to approach the Sacrament again and truly experience the forgiveness of sins and the healing and peace of that this Sacrament gives.
That's difficult. Some priests are harder in the confessional than others. No matter what happens in the confessional, if you get through it with true sorrow, receive absolution, and do your penance, you've received one of the greatest gifts available to mankind, and you gain the ability to take communion. Remember that if we take communion in a state of grave sin we commit blasphemy which is itself a grievous sin that must be confessed. Also remember that a good confession isn't just about what we've done wrong (or failed to do) but the frequency of those sins. Both the offense and the frequency should be confessed. In your case I would try confessing to a different priest, and after you make the introduction and tell the priest it's been however long since your last confession, tell him you're nervous. It's ok to be nervous, it suggests that you feel true shame and true sorrow for your sins, which is necessary for the sacrament. The more nervous you are the better, actually, because it means that if you succeed in making a full examination of conscience and don't intentionally leave any sins out, you are likely to have a very good confession which is a most profitable blessing.
He will. He's been waiting to meet in the Confessional so I am sure he is looking forward to it. His Sacramental Grace , Mercy and Forgiveness will help you, too.
BUT WHEN YOUR VIETNAMESE YOU SAY THE Art of Contrition LIKE THIS: My God, I am sorry for my sins, with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong, and failing to do good. I have sinned against you, whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Amen
Very helpful video, since confession is a private sacrament we rarely get to see a full example of how it actually works, so sometimes I get the feeling I'm not doing it right
Im going to do my first confession in my communion at Nov 21st and im scared that the priest will tell people my sins but after this im not scared anymore Thank you so much 😀💜
No Mimi. The priest very definitely will NOT flog you, or tell you to flog yourself. That is a punishment usually only for Nuns of a very particular order, but NEVER people who go to confession on a regular basis, and CERTAINLY NOT one who's doing their 1st confession. It won't be scary at all, and the priest will be very kind to you. He will know that you're a bit scared, as it's your first time, and if you forget something, he will help you to do everything just right. God bless you for your 1st confession. I think you'll find you' quite enjoy it. Good luck.
@@mimim7026 Well mimi, Let mr put it this way. Just supposing that you accidentally broke a favourite toy of your best friend. If you confess honestly, and straightaway, as you are both best friends, don't you think, that altho sh'd br very sad that her favourite toy is broken, just because she IS a good friend, she WILL forgive you, because you told her what you'd done, and didn't say it wasn't me and so give someone else the blame unfairly. Well! When you confess to the priest, you are actually telling Jesus your sins and tbe priest is acting on Jesus's behalf. Now remember, that Jesus is your friend He loves you, and he isn't going to tutn mean and nasty to you and so you wouldn't be scared of your best friend would you. You're doing a very good thing when you go to confession, and Jesus loves it when we do good things, and wouldn't tell you to go and flog yourself or anything nasty and scary like that. Otherwise NOBODY would ever go to confession at all. So that's why confession should not be scary or mean, because it is an act of love, telling Jesus that you are very sorry for what you have done, and that with his help, you won't sin again. I Hope that explains it a bit.
IM DOING IT TMR AND I AM SO SCARED when ever I speak to anybody I literally cry I can’t even memorize anything do the priest help you when you can’t memorize it???
First of all, welcome to the Catholic Church! Before you convert, your confession will include the whole of your life. But don't let that scare you. It is not all the details of your sins that you need to confess but the kind of sin and an approximation of the number or how often you commit that sin -- once? three or four times in your life? or in a year? now and then? daily? etc. See if you can pick up on patterns of sin in your life that have lead you away from God. Before confession, give yourself a good amount of time to make an examination of conscience and review your life. You can use the Ten Commandments as a guide and be sure to pray/ask the Holy Spirit to help you shine a light on the dark areas that need to be brought forward for Confessions. There are many Examination of Conscience guides out there to help you like www.ncregister.com/info/confession_guide_for_adults . Be sure to tell the priest that this is your first Confession and he will certainly help you out as needed. Give yourself plenty of time to confess. For this reason, It may be helpful to make an appointment with the priest this first time. Knowing this, the priest may ask you questions here and there to prompt you and guide you in making a good confession. Remember, by confessing to a priest, you are confessing directly to Jesus -- and Jesus very much wants to reconcile you and give you his peace and forgiveness! Even if you are sincere and forget something, God will forgive you. (It is still good to bring that sin up the next time.) In the end, you will find, as so many have in RCIA, that the experience of confession is so healing and will bring you closer to God. This is also true of all Catholics, especially those who have returned to confession after many years. Peace to you in this endeavor. Confession is a wonderful sacrament!
Upon ordination as a Catholic priest. You don't get things piecemeal, once ordained you you can do everything. I am not sure what year they are TAUGHT how to, but I am sure they are at some point. Thank a priest, they give up lots for us!
You might want to consider joining the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church recently established the Anglican Rite Catholic Church. It is for those who want to embrace the tenets of the Catholic Church and still maintain the Anglican rite -- especially its liturgy.
With science continuing to prove God exists even they don’t realize that is what they are doing, hence the God particle and the Eve gene. The Big Bang ok, but what started the “bang”? There is plenty of history and archeological findings of the events in the Bible, I hope you find Jesus loves you and wants you too for His kingdom. The Catholic Church was passed down from Jesus Christ Himself, the pope is the seat of St. Peter. Our Lady of Fatima upwards of 70,000 people witnessed and most of it so far has came true, but time is running short. All over the world they are finding more and more proof of the events in the Bible and Jesus walking this earth. I hope you find Him, and peace be with you in this evil world, for God is calling you.
Nothing more like this than that was. But that doesn't matter what the point in this thread was about it was about how many of those guys are going through this game for some time and got the best thing ever done before you start playing.
Why does this child keep her eyes open and direct them at the priest while doing her confession. Is that the way it is done - with open eyes? Then it looks like she is praying to the priest and not to God.
Because at least in the USA that's how most conversations work. The idea of confession is we are not confessing to a priest "instead of" to God but it's to God by the authority of the priest
@@elizabeth4861 sorry that I didn’t respond! It went well. I told my sins to the priest and he told me to go pray some hail marys outside in front of the Hail Mary Shrine. It isn’t so scary. Just try to remember your sins and what you are going to tell the priest and remember your prayers.
🎯 Confession in that style with saying "sorry God and people" and "I hurted God" should be Banned! 😤 Confession in that style is the fruit of Devil This is the Real Mark of The Beast!-- -- That "confession" with humbling yourself and saying sorry and feeling bad! ❤ The Real Confession should be Just Talking with Priest or Somebody and sayning everything you was shame of for example ❤ but its for create new better self vision and not feeling guilty and shame again. 👑 With no Sorry and humbling yourself- thats evil for Us.
Once again, Jesus said to the Apostles, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." John 20: 22-23 He delegated his role of forgiveness to the Apostles and their successor. Why not take him at his word?
Reconciliation and Holy Mass are examples of #InPersonaChristi. This is why only a priest (or bishop; all bishops remain priests) can perform acts in the person of Christ Himself!
You don't need to confess your sin to human apart to Jesus straight away. Talking about Jesus 1 John 1 (WEB) - 1ይ ዮሃንስ 9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
What about Jesus' words to the Apostles in the Upper Room: John 20:21-23: "Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
*How illogical, bogus, and hypocritical to use a man to give the verdict of God Almighty? This gives me shivers down the spine. This is paganism. Jesus NEVER said to confess to a HUMAN (SINNER)*
Have you not read in the Bible what Jesus said to the Disciples (human sinners) gathered in the Upper Room at Pentecost, " 'As the Father has sent me, so I send you.' And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.' " ? John 20:21-23 These are the words of the priest (sinner) in confession “I absolve you from your sins IN THE NAME OF the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Sinners that they are, God has still given them the authority to forgive sins in HIS/God's NAME. Where is the Paganism?
@@SrDonnaD *I have not only read the messed up (several versions) of Bible, but even the Torah (not translated for years and kept hidden from English), Hibdu Vedas, Bhuddist Tripataka, Goodman & Gilman (Bible of Pharmacopeia), Quran, and much more. EDUCATE before quote STUPIDITY on UA-cam. It is time we the really educated, degreed, and social workers took over this mad comments and tell the truth. You are STUPID as a door nail, or mentally needy to believe a lie. But, never try to lie to LEARNED ppl. We are not going to be "Mr. Nice Guy" anymore for Satanists. God is SERIOUS and Hell is REAL. You will end in Hell if do not wake-up before trip into in the dark. Ask your own reverted priests. If lucky, then you will be guided by God. But only 1% will avoid Hell. Good luck.
@@SrDonnaD *Crazy Paul, Mark, Luke (all unknown writers = ask a priest) are liars and changed what Jesus preached. It is pure stupidity to not do a CRIMINAL CROSS EXAMINATION into how the Preachings of Jesus was chsnged by immoral Roman Royalty. (Same as done today. Nothing new). Study DEEPLY.. do not "quote" liars. If I take the Bible and rewrite (as an immoral Roman Pagan with POLITICAL goals to get VOTERS) ... yeah after KILL Jesus (Murder), will you keep "quoting" the lies I wrote? Don't you have a SOUL that can see God? What sin have you done that your soul is locked in with Satanic Verses of The Bible. Paul was possesed by SATAN and he CHANGED the preaching of Jesus. Wake up before thrown into Hell. (If you care..). Humans are a dumb animal 99% of the time. Established by hiw Adam commited sin in Heaven (for God's Sake, in Heaven).

I am really nervous whenever I do a confession, thinking I'm going to mess or something.
I am doing a confession today, and I am really nervous/
Why didn't the priest ask if she had returned the item that she stole? If she took something that didn't belong to her (1:56), she has to return it.
since this is not a real confession and just a video, he probably forgot and didn’t really take it that seriously
BUT WHEN YOUR VIETNAMESE YOU SAY THE Art of Contrition LIKE THIS:

I'm an adult and will convert soon. Wondering how far back I will have to go for my first confession?
First of all, welcome to the Catholic Church! Before you convert, your confession will include the whole of your life. But don't let that scare you. It is not all the details of your sins that you need to confess but the kind of sin and an approximation of the number or how often you commit that sin -- once? three or four times in your life? or in a year? now and then? daily? etc. See if you can pick up on patterns of sin in your life that have lead you away from God.
Before confession, give yourself a good amount of time to make an examination of conscience and review your life. You can use the Ten Commandments as a guide and be sure to pray/ask the Holy Spirit to help you shine a light on the dark areas that need to be brought forward for Confessions. There are many Examination of Conscience guides out there to help you like www.ncregister.com/info/confession_guide_for_adults .
Be sure to tell the priest that this is your first Confession and he will certainly help you out as needed. Give yourself plenty of time to confess. For this reason, It may be helpful to make an appointment with the priest this first time. Knowing this, the priest may ask you questions here and there to prompt you and guide you in making a good confession. Remember, by confessing to a priest, you are confessing directly to Jesus -- and Jesus very much wants to reconcile you and give you his peace and forgiveness! Even if you are sincere and forget something, God will forgive you. (It is still good to bring that sin up the next time.) In the end, you will find, as so many have in RCIA, that the experience of confession is so healing and will bring you closer to God. This is also true of all Catholics, especially those who have returned to confession after many years. Peace to you in this endeavor. Confession is a wonderful sacrament!
Question , what year in seminary does a man receive the power to forgive sins ?
Upon ordination as a Catholic priest. You don't get things piecemeal, once ordained you you can do everything. I am not sure what year they are TAUGHT how to, but I am sure they are at some point. Thank a priest, they give up lots for us!
I loved the act of contrition 😍
I'm 25 years old I went to my first confession for the first time ever it went great ❤
I'll start my confession tomorrow hope it go well
IM DOING MY CONFESSION TODAY IN 2 HOURS IM ABOUT TO GO so im watching this
IF YOU CAN'T MEMORIZE ALL OF THAT, YOU CAN ALSO SAY THIS:
Lord Jesus, Son of God,
have mercy on me, a sinner.
Pray an act of perfect contrition everyday
Do you need to know the nicenes creed for first confession or communion?
I’m Episcopalian and I like everything but I wish there was confession in it.
You might want to consider joining the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church recently established the Anglican Rite Catholic Church. It is for those who want to embrace the tenets of the Catholic Church and still maintain the Anglican rite -- especially its liturgy.
Even though I am an Atheist but Churches are some of the most beautiful buildings ever made
With science continuing to prove God exists even they don’t realize that is what they are doing, hence the God particle and the Eve gene. The Big Bang ok, but what started the “bang”? There is plenty of history and archeological findings of the events in the Bible, I hope you find Jesus loves you and wants you too for His kingdom. The Catholic Church was passed down from Jesus Christ Himself, the pope is the seat of St. Peter. Our Lady of Fatima upwards of 70,000 people witnessed and most of it so far has came true, but time is running short. All over the world they are finding more and more proof of the events in the Bible and Jesus walking this earth. I hope you find Him, and peace be with you in this evil world, for God is calling you.

Nothing more like this than that was. But that doesn't matter what the point in this thread was about it was about how many of those guys are going through this game for some time and got the best thing ever done before you start playing.
I'm getting my confession tomorrow
My first confession in april
I'm really nervous because I'm gonna join first communion soon and I will practice this all the time now it's a habit 😂
Why does this child keep her eyes open and direct them at the priest while doing her confession. Is that the way it is done - with open eyes? Then it looks like she is praying to the priest and not to God.
Because at least in the USA that's how most conversations work. The idea of confession is we are not confessing to a priest "instead of" to God but it's to God by the authority of the priest
I’m 15 and I just had a connfetion and I heard the voice of God
I did my confession today it wasent scary
thats not how you spell wasn't
@@soeperjoen ok so what
You you sureeee
Gay
@@Sigmaquandaleskibidi what the heck
Bishops should never allow face to face Confession in private with anybody, least of all a young person.
That practice confession was done out in the open on the altar as all our children's confessions are.
I'm 10 years old and tomorrow will be my first confession!!!
How did it go? Did you need to memorize anything? I have mine tomorrow and I’m panicking-
@@notsocool8613 pls i have to go this week. How did it go?
@@elizabeth4861
sorry that I didn’t respond! It went well. I told my sins to the priest and he told me to go pray some hail marys outside in front of the Hail Mary Shrine. It isn’t so scary. Just try to remember your sins and what you are going to tell the priest and remember your prayers.
@@notsocool8613 okay thank you!!
This is what I really wanted,,,,,,thank you
This was really helpful thank you
I have to confess tomorrow and I have never done it I’m scared 😮😮
Not nervous beacause I want to be a preist
Thank you!
🎯 Confession in that style with saying "sorry God and people" and "I hurted God" should be Banned!
😤 Confession in that style is the fruit of Devil
This is the Real Mark of The Beast!--
-- That "confession" with humbling yourself and saying sorry and feeling bad!
❤ The Real Confession should be Just Talking with Priest or Somebody and sayning everything you was shame of for example
❤ but its for create new better self vision and not feeling guilty and shame again.
👑 With no Sorry and humbling yourself- thats evil for Us.
Thank you for this ♡
im getting my first communion at may 30
I'm doing my confession today saturday
I am so happy for you. I hope this video helped!
I am doing my confession on Saturday 😥Thanks for help
same
I am doing my confession today
How did it go?
I made my confession today
do not confess your sins to another human being to believe that God forgives you through your father priest
Once again, Jesus said to the Apostles, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." John 20: 22-23 He delegated his role of forgiveness to the Apostles and their successor. Why not take him at his word?
Thank you for the video
I did my confession yesterday
@SIN WILL KILL YOU Hriech zabíja that was a long reply
@SIN WILL KILL YOU Hriech zabíja not a really kind name...
Amen
PS. if it’s not real...then why is their a REAL priest?
For educational purposes
I am Protestant Christian but I like catholic but one thing priest unmarried I don't like
This is my second time I’m very worried.
Reconciliation and Holy Mass are examples of #InPersonaChristi. This is why only a priest (or bishop; all bishops remain priests) can perform acts in the person of Christ Himself!
I'm ready
Demonic oppression close all the doors bring the Holy Spirit
I have mine today at 5:30 and I’m so scaredddddddd 😱
If you’ve already done it what happened? Do I need to memorize anything? I have mine tomorrow so I’m a bit nervous
Omg I’m so sorry but I hope you did good!
Sorry!
@notsocool
You don't need to confess your sin to human apart to Jesus straight away.
Talking about Jesus
1 John 1 (WEB) - 1ይ ዮሃንስ
9: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
What about Jesus' words to the Apostles in the Upper Room: John 20:21-23: "Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
*How illogical, bogus, and hypocritical to use a man to give the verdict of God Almighty? This gives me shivers down the spine. This is paganism. Jesus NEVER said to confess to a HUMAN (SINNER)*
Have you not read in the Bible what Jesus said to the Disciples (human sinners) gathered in the Upper Room at Pentecost, " 'As the Father has sent me, so I send you.' And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.' " ? John 20:21-23 These are the words of the priest (sinner) in confession
“I absolve you from your sins IN THE NAME OF the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” Sinners that they are, God has still given them the authority to forgive sins in HIS/God's NAME. Where is the Paganism?
@@SrDonnaD
*I have not only read the messed up (several versions) of Bible, but even the Torah (not translated for years and kept hidden from English), Hibdu Vedas, Bhuddist Tripataka, Goodman & Gilman (Bible of Pharmacopeia), Quran, and much more.
EDUCATE before quote STUPIDITY on UA-cam.
It is time we the really educated, degreed, and social workers took over this mad comments and tell the truth.
You are STUPID as a door nail, or mentally needy to believe a lie.
But, never try to lie to LEARNED ppl.
We are not going to be "Mr. Nice Guy" anymore for Satanists.
God is SERIOUS and Hell is REAL.
You will end in Hell if do not wake-up before trip into in the dark.
Ask your own reverted priests.
If lucky, then you will be guided by God.
But only 1% will avoid Hell.
Good luck.
@@SrDonnaD
*Crazy Paul, Mark, Luke (all unknown writers = ask a priest) are liars and changed what Jesus preached.
It is pure stupidity to not do a CRIMINAL CROSS EXAMINATION into how the Preachings of Jesus was chsnged by immoral Roman Royalty. (Same as done today. Nothing new).
Study DEEPLY.. do not "quote" liars.
If I take the Bible and rewrite (as an immoral Roman Pagan with POLITICAL goals to get VOTERS) ... yeah after KILL Jesus (Murder), will you keep "quoting" the lies I wrote?
Don't you have a SOUL that can see God?
What sin have you done that your soul is locked in with Satanic Verses of The Bible. Paul was possesed by SATAN and he CHANGED the preaching of Jesus.
Wake up before thrown into Hell. (If you care..). Humans are a dumb animal 99% of the time. Established by hiw Adam commited sin in Heaven (for God's Sake, in Heaven).
