Hello everyone - I have two things I would like to ask you all about, but I don't exactly want to make two thread, so I'll just put them both on here.
So,I have this friend who recently has gotten her faith back. She's catholic also, so I like to go to church with her. So anyway,last night we were talking about confession, and I was saying how I needed to go again and she said she had to also. She then confided in me that she committed a sin that she knows is wrong and is sorry for it because of that, but she doesn't regret it and would like to do it again. (Ha - y'all probably know what I am talking about.) And then she asked me if she should even go to confession at all. I didn't know how to answer her because I mean, well, you are supposed to confess all sins, but work to not commit that sin again, yes? So, I just felt kind of bad, I'm not sure what to say to her. Part of me wants to talk to her and try to convince her as to why she should give up this sin, but I don't know. Would y'all mind praying for her?
...I was raised catholic, but around the time that my class was making their confirmation, I started having doubts. I didn't want to be confirmed because I didn't completely understand or believe then. Anyway, obviously, I figured everything out. And I've been thinking and praying about it a lot. I really really love the catholic faith. Is it still possible for me to get confirmed? Thanks
God Bless and Bless God,
