Must learn to see my sins in order to overcome them. When we confess our sins, Christ carries them on our behalf. Must learn to see my sins in order to overcome them. When we confess our sins, Christ carries them on our behalf. Do we all sin? Is anyone without sin? Do we all sin? Is anyone without sin? “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. (1 John 1:8)

Do we feel bad that sin hurts my relationship with God? Do we feel bad that my sin breaks God’s heart? Do we feel bad that our sin is what caused Jesus to be nailed to the Cross, suffer, and die for us?

Repentance means changing direction. Can’t say I’ve repented if I’m not planning on changing or stopping my sin. Can’t say I’ve repented from lying, if lie again tomorrow!

Have you ever seen dishes that were really dirty for days and weren’t washed? Isn’t it harder to wash them the longer they have stayed dirty? The longer we leave dishes unwashed, the harder it is to remove the stains. If I keep living with my sin, it is going to be harder to overcome it. If I repent and get rid of it right away, it’s a lot easier to overcome it! Have you ever seen dishes that were really dirty for days and weren’t washed?

If I keep living with my sin, it is going to be harder to overcome it. If I repent and get rid of it right away, it’s a lot easier to overcome it!

Pray and as God to forgive us and help us never do it again. must examine ourselves daily Decide with all your heart to stay away from the sin and not go back to it. Stay away from anything that makes you sin Fight any sinful thoughts with the sign of the cross and don’t think about it. must examine ourselves daily Decide with all your heart to stay away from the sin and not go back to it. Stay away from anything that makes you sin Fight any sinful thoughts with the sign of the cross and don’t think about it.  Check senses thoughts, deeds… Pray and ask God for forgiveness and strength to never do the sin again!

If I did something bad to someone, must apologize! “If I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold.” (Luke 19:8)

Comes only after true repentance. Not just saying sorry I did this... must FEEL sorry. Confession without repentance is something just on the outside. God looks to our HEART!

Don’t make excuses  “I didn’t meant to”  “It wasn’t my fault”  “Someone made me do it”... Don’t justify your sin by telling stories around it Confess everything, don’t hide anything. At the end, could ask Abouna to give you a spiritual exercise to overcome the sin.

Must be regular. We are confessing to God in the PRESENCE of the priest. It is God who forgives us our sins. This is why it’s a sacrament, a mystery.  A visible act, with an invisible gift. When the priest prays the absolution, Jesus takes away our sins. “The LORD also has put away your sin” (2 Samuel 12:13) Must be regular. We are confessing to God in the PRESENCE of the priest.

Repentance MUST come before confession. Confession without repentance is useless. Shouldn’t be going to confession just because that’s what everyone else does. Must feel bad about my sin, pray and ask God to help me change and try to STOP the sin. Confession MUST come after repentance. AND

After repentance and confession, sins are completely forgiven! “The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.” Psalm 103:8 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us. (Psalm 103:12)

How amazing is it that our Lord is waiting patiently for us, wanting us to go to Him, ready to forgive us our sins!

It’s a great blessing that God gives us that we have a father of confession who will listen to us with love and can guide us to overcome our sins, and bring us closer to Jesus.
