  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I've had an episode of mortal sin this morning! Please pray that I make it to confession tomorrow, and confess my sins well with compunction and perfect contrition for them. Needless to say, I don't want to be in a state of mortal sin while flying, and considering where I'm flying to, well, that would be a very embarrassing way to go to hell!

You can confess to Jesus, he's already done His part and gave us that gift if we believe. I never understood having to "go to confession" but I'm not familiar with the Catholic faith, so forgive me. But, isn't that what Jesus is for? He's always with you.....pray to him for the strength and guidance to help you repent. It takes work, I know this!

Safe travels! :)

Honestly, you seem to be very scrupulous at best. This can't be healthy. Talk to a priest as well as a doctor. I only say this from your posting history and my own troubles. God be with you.

You are really needing help - you need a good priest to advise and help you. Please try and find one - it's for your spiritual health.

Stop worrying about other people and stop trying to do too much - I don't know how you find time to fit in all these prayers and devotions.

Thank goodness , in the East, our Spiritual Father/Priest will guide us and give us a Prayer Rule to follow - and this will be done talking with us, and taking into account our daily life. You are needing some form of discipline along these lines.

I am hoping to move into an apartment this month near my better parish. (Please pray that this goes through!) If I do manage to move in, I will look into getting a spiritual director, hopefully one will be available.

I have to agree with this. Talking to a priest needs to be one of the OP's highest priorities, because scrupulosity in itself is a sin.

I believe you can make it to confession tomorrow, the Lord won't abandon
you if you really want to be good. I will be praying for you as I have been
recently.

No, Scrupulosity, in and of itself is not sinful. Scrupulosity can lead to sin, but it's not in itself a sin, it's just disordered.

You look like not saved person to me , thing like mortal sin does not exist , by saying that you are saying that there is sin that God himself can't make you free of thus you say God is not perfect and blasphemy him.

Jesus took away our sins at cross , all sins forever , he took away your sins before you even were born by his Blood , he was the Lamb of God once for all. Look what Jesus said himself before he died on cross - John 19:30 .
It is finished , death has been defeated by Jesus , don't add anything to this because it's finished once for all . I will illustrate it for you below .

Imagine pizza , i love pizza , Jesus is like perfect pizza , it's full circle , you can't add anything to it , if you would be able to add anything to it maybe a triangle from other pizza then Jesus pizza would need to be not completed , then this would mean that he was not God , because God must be perfect.

Let Jesus be full pizza for you and just take him as he is , perfect .

Next example is Ethernal life , you can't lose it .
1 John 5:13
When you believe , you have ethernal life , if you could lose it first it would not be ethernal , second it would make God a liar because he promised you ethernal life , God can't lie thus when you get ethernal life , you get it forever :).

Did prodigal son blow away all his inheritance (father's money) ? Yes he did blow it and screw him for this , but he could not just stop being child of his father because he blow away his money . When you are born again , you are Child of God , that does not mean when you drink beer you suddenly stop being Child of God , you cannot be unborn .

There is verse that literally kills any dubt .

2 Samuel 7:14-16
I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

Please consider being born again , read 1 Cor 15:1-4 , trust Jesus that he was enought love you :)
