Should I go to confession?
If I go to confession with true contrition and repentance, but still can not receive the Eucharist because of the cohabitation (marriage) should I go to confession first.
Please do not attack a Catholic or Protestant theological arguments. This question is really for other Catholics.
Yes, you must go to confession. It is good that you are taking the matter seriously and refrain from receiving the Eucharist until the marriage is validated. But meanwhile the confession is a wonderful source of sanctifying grace that must not be neglected. It would be different if you go to confession with no intention of remedying the situation. But since you are taking concrete steps in that direction, use the confession as a source of spiritual strength. Moreover, there may be other sins that you have to confess.
Well, as the occasion for sin is with you every day (I am speaking of a formalist-point, and I do not care to judge anyone), then committing the same 'sin' again and again!
My husband and I were married civilly before they were married in the church, and I just avoid the problem altogether is not going to confess, at least not to "sin."
I go to confession before the wedding. You say you're working in a church wedding, good luck, best wishes and congratulations.
If there really was contrition and repentance on cohabitation, which stopped. Go to confession is an important part of their faith (James 5:16) and I will not discourage it. However, it seems a bit hypocritical to me that continuing to carry out the act that requires the confession after confession.
GOD KNOWS THE HEART
DOESN'T SOUND LIKE YOUR HEART IS IN THE RIGHT
SHOULD NOT CONTINUE, God forbid
Confession is good for the soul.
Greetings,
How are you? It's what you go to confession to repent of their sins and ask forgiveness. After telling his sins to a priest, tell you everything that is behind what could be. He will guide you.
Read Bible.And love with all your heart. Pray to God always.
Ask God to Ignore all the temptations that are going on in your mind.
God bless.
Well Chris, this is a sticky one. If I interpret correctly our only marriage laws of the church recognizes the CR are found in a church, before God.
If you were married in a civil ceremony, the church does not accept her marriage at all.
In short, I do not see why they can not receive communion or confession.
I think this should be addressed to a priest if possible. Or, for a variety of very orthodox and (mostly) very educated opinions, pls try this announcement in the forums http://www.catholic.com
Is there any way to get the marriage blessed by the Church?
I can not see the problem where you know you are in a state of sin, so how can we reconcile with God, if you plan to stay in the state of sin. No easy answers, but if you could give some more details …
Yes, you must go to confession.
His repentance is genuine, because they are working to correct their situation in a way that keeps you accountable to the Church. For your spiritual health needs that the acquittal, no matter if you are able to receive the Eucharist at the moment.
Would it be good to try to make a confession in the church?
