VERY DANGEROUS: Four Mistakes We Make During Confession
What mistakes do we make during confession?
TL;DR
- Focusing on others' sins rather than one's own is a common mistake.
- Self-justification and making excuses hinder true repentance.
- Providing unnecessary and excessive details about sins can re-engage with them.
- Uncertainty about whether an act is a sin requires seeking spiritual clarification.
- The priest is a witness; confession is made to God, who sees the heart.
- Confession should be a moment of encountering mercy, not a life story.
- Minimizing excuses and mentions of others increases the truthfulness of confession.
