Dear ladybug,

Do you have a guide for your first confession?

I very highly recommend doing a general confession.

First, see if there is a priest in your area who can hear your general confession, which is all the sins you can remember, over your entire lifetime, starting at the age of reason, which is age 7 years old.

Grab a notebook and start writing down what you can remember

Thanks :) It's been a long time since you've been around here, and probably an even longer time that I was waiting to get to this point.
Indeed, it has.

I don't know how to answer that, exactly. The last lesson was about the difference between sanctifying vs actual grace, and venial vs mortal sin.
You’ll most likely enter the Church Easter Vigil.

I'm not waiting another stinking year. ^_^
I just have issues starting certain kinds of routines like the fasting, no meat on certain days etc. I guess I can speak privately about that when I feel like it.

And you shouldn’t. I do not know anyone that has devoted as much of their time and study to enter the Church
I never feel like I study enough though, but still, I'm NOT waiting lol.
