    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.

      I love the 4 C’s, and I agree a list is good because it’s easy to get distracted due to shame or embarrassment. However, I couldn’t help but get a sense that maybe my confession isn’t important enough to waste the priest’s time. Maybe I should just skip it to let others go to confession. I’m pretty sure that is not what he meant, but if I felt it, others probably did, too.

      I agree. When I was younger, our Confession schedule on a Saturday was 3:00-5:00 and 7:00-9:00. Wow, how times have changed! With having the Vigil Masses, why can't the priests have Confession afterwards, so the penitents. may have more time. I notice that almost the whole congregation receives Holy Communion, but not so many are in line for Confession. I wonder how many are actually receiving unworthily. Priests need to "preach" about going to Confession more often and receiving Our Lord more worthily. Too many don't believe they are receiving His Body and Blood and sacrilege is being committed. Father's, please address this to your flocks! You are our shepherds!

      I agree. Our pastor also offers confession on Wed nights and in the early morning so the kids can go before school.
      Also you can always make an appointment. I live in Colorado Springs and there is a catholic center where Franciscans have mass twice a day. Plus they here confessions all day except during mass.

Now I don't have a better understanding If I forget to say something to the priest have a sin I can do it the next time That was always my biggest problem I don't remember everything Because I have a disability I cannot spill . So now I have a phone that has a speaker I can use that to by writing everything down . Since I've been haven't given the Is confession for so long over the many years It might take some time Because in the early eighties I was using drugs and selling drugs.

    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.🙏🙏🙏

Twice by 2 different priests I was told in the same exact words as I confessed past sins, "It is time to move forward, your previous sins have been . absolved." 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 . This video just reinforced that.

    This was so good for me to see. I am going to confession for the first time in a very long time on Monday and I have prayed and prayed in preparation. I have worried that the confession will take too long, but our parish has 23 priests listening to confession that day, so I think it will be ok to be thorough, but still considerate of the time. My worry is that I am so saddened by my sins that have bottled up over the years, that I am afraid I will be emotional and unable to voice my words, therefore taking more time. Thank you for this wonderful guide on confession. I saw it in God's perfect timing.

Our Faith teachers us that when we confess our sins are truly sorry and for those we cannot remember we are by God's loving grace absolved and forgiven. We need to trust in God and not allow doubt and fear (weapons of the enemy to weaken our FAITH in God's Holy Word.

    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.

      Is God the only one who can forgive sins?
      Only Jesus can forgive sins. “Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins” (Hebrews 9:22). Only Jesus shed blood for us by dying on the cross and since he was the only one who was sinless (1 Peter 1:19/2:22)
      ****1 Timothy 2:5-6 declares, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a ransom for all.”

    Not Feeling Contrition For Sin, Or Refusing To Confess It, Is A Dangerous Path To Be On, And It Requires The Intervention Of The Blessed Mother, To Get You Free From It. Repeated Disobedience Of Not Confessing Or Not Wanting To Confess Your Sins, Leads To What's Called Defiance~Which Is Open Resistance; Bold Disobedience. Remember In The Word It Says "To Him Who Has [Refusal , Unwillingness, Or Lack Of Desire, To Confess Sin], More Will Be Given, And To Him Who Has Not[Some Kind Of Willingness Or Contrition To Deal With Sin], Even The Little That He Does Have[The Still Small Voice Of Your Conscience, Trying To Make You Have Contrition For Sin] Will Be Taken Away!!!

    Excellant video! I have learned that with regards to the past sins, the Holy Spirit convicts me and then guides me toward the sacrament of reconciliation. I have spent the past 2 years of my life gaining knowledge of myself through the Holy Spirit who has shown me exactly what is in the way of my progression toward holiness. Thank you for this teaching.

    A GREAT app for confession is CONFESSIT! Try it. This app lists your sins under the ten commandments as you go thru each commandment and list it. You can add a sin that isn't listed to check off. The list is ready when you go to confession.

    Wow - I haven't been to Confession since I was 17 years old (I am now almost 66)!. So it looks like I will have a lot to cover when I finally get back to confession this year. I will make sure to bring a long list going back to 1974 and up to date and to also try to be the last person in the Confession lineup. Or I can break it up into 2 visits interspersing the really bad stuff with the not as bad stuff.
    I absolutely love your wonderfully informative videos Ken Yasinski and really enjoyed your guest Fr Cristino with this particular topic. By any chance do you do Zoom Confessions Fr Cristino?🙏 🙄

    • @tryingnottobeasmartass757
      @tryingnottobeasmartass757 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      How wonderful that you are returning to confession! A word of advice here: if you're going to have a long confession, call the church and ask if the priest can meet with you individually at another time, outside of the regular confession time. I'm sure he will be very happy to do so.
      Also, don't stress out if you can't remember every sin, even every mortal sin, you may have committed. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you know what you need to address in this confession, trust the process to Him, and confess only what you can remember now. Do not intentionally leave out any mortal sins, but don't worry if you forget to confess a mortal sin in this confession. If you forget to confess a mortal sin, the absolution still covers it, and you can confess it next time. God is on your side, and He is slow to anger and quick to forgive. He, the angels, all the saints in Heaven, the priests, and the Church are rejoicing that you are partaking of this sacrament. When you go to communion afterwards, remember that it was Jesus, who loves you very much, who met you in the confessional, and it is Jesus, who loves you very much, who is meeting you in the Eucharist. He is very pleased that you are moving towards him, even if you make mistakes along the way. May God be with you and fill you with hope and peace.

    I’ve been looking for those questions to be answered. Thank you so much. I also would like answers about the battle between the communion on the tongue verse the hand. I receive it through both whichever is available at the church I attended. I believe there is a crisis so I receive it however I can and I try my best to be reverent by bowing and genuflecting and checking for bits of crumbs in my hand to make sure. Otherwise, how and where else should I go to receive the Lord? Thank you both again! God bless!

    • @arleneslaz7469
      @arleneslaz7469 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No question! Receive Our Lord's Body and Blood always on the tongue from a priest whose hands are the only hands that are consecrated! If you can, find a Latin Mass Church where recipients receive Our Lord on the tongue and on their knees, humbly and reverently. (Remember, at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bend.) Giving Our Lord the utmost honor and respect He deserves in this way exemplifies that we are truly receiving His body and blood. It is no wonder so many Catholics do not believe in the Transubstantiation of the bread and wine when the Host is distributed into one's hands (having touched objects and been "soiled" in the process). This is so disrespectful. The Host is not a "symbol, " and should not be treated as such. The utmost reverence is a must!
