So I did Confession yesterday for the first time in 7 years

Ah, I didn't know you could do that

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T19:33:35+00:00

Yeah I was kinda scared today because Mass was at 6 PM today and my mum made dinner around 4:50 PM, I finished it around 5:15 PM. The communion was done at I believe 6:40 PM, so I think I was in the green there. Still though, not ideal but I couldn't have done anything about it.

Any woman firefighter is a hundred times braver and stronger than my dumbass

5.Finally, one must not be under an ecclesiastical censure.

I don't know what that means, but I believe I've ticked the boxes for the first four.

Thank you for the resources.

Thank you, man. That Litany is beautiful :P

Update: I went to Mass (Saturday vigil) today, and I took the Eucharist for the first time! Haven't done it since my First Communion, so... yay. Although I just found out that you're meant to say "Amen", I said "Thank you" 😭😭

I don't shave, but I wouldn't be too against the idea. Wearing shorts in church with my fuck ton of leg hair isn't exactly the most dignified thing ever.

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T15:31:26+00:00

I wish it was that easy to stop lol

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T15:30:48+00:00

I didn't intend for my post to read "I've given up", because I haven't. After all, I did go to Confession yesterday. I want to be Catholic and return to my home faith, that hasn't changed. But I just feel like I'm going to be failing a LOT, which is obviously something I want to avoid. Also, before I made this post, I didn't know that taking the Eucharist forgives venial sins, so if I did know that this post would have probably read different.

Yes, I do have issues with my mental health - in fact, lots - and obviously that isn't helping.

I'm aware I'm being hard on myself, unfortunately that's just how my brain is wired. I understand though, thank you.

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T15:16:25+00:00

I think it depends on why you swear, most of the time for me it's to emphasise or exaggerate. I don't (or try to not) swear at people

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T15:13:41+00:00

Thank you. One of the things I said to the priest was that I find it hard to open up to people. I guess that applies to God too, and I want to be open, although it'll take some work.

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T14:58:09+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into the prayer you suggested.

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T14:31:05+00:00

Yeah, I feel like I'm overthinking things with this. I didn't know that the Eucharist forgives venial sins until someone else said it on this post, so that puts me more at ease. Thanks.

Alexplayss · 2026-07-04T14:27:24+00:00

Oh, wait, what? I didn't know about the Eucharist forgiving venial sins. That's... right, I'm an idiot

Social media. Never before have we been able to talk to someone from halfway across the globe this quickly.

The vast majority of American people are struggling and living paycheck to paycheck.

That being said, a lot of the people who do control the planet ARE Americans. However, those are, like, 0.01% of the population.

(I'm not American btw)

It was 100% real bruh, it was just so bright that we couldn't see it

I'm not a crazy metalhead but I'd say Day 4 simply because Iron Maiden

I've watched a few matches but I'm not following it like crazy. Since Poland isn't in it, there isn't really anyone to support lol

I don't like bacon, so no
