Did you know Fr. Mike wrote an entire pocket guide to confession with Fr. Josh Johnson? tinyurl.com/yg5nm4uu
If you have ever wondered how to make a good confession, Fr. Mike Schmitz has some solid advice for you. He points out that preparing for a good confession starts when we recognize that being a "good person” in our own eyes is not enough-we are called to holiness, which is something much greater. In this video, Fr. Mike offers four powerful ways we can examine our consciences so that our experience of reconciliation moves us towards that holiness to which we are called.

Just had to share this (from a Fr. Mike homily): "When we go to Confession we are not telling God something He doesn’t already know and we’re not showing Him something He doesn’t already see. We are giving Him something He doesn’t already have: Your broken heart."

@jamiegough1781 3 года назад

@@IvanLopez-fx3hx we are priests And God has given pastor's elders teachers evangelists in the building of the church ? Which we are the church and Christ is the head and we are the body , he is the cornerstone and we build ourselves on our Lord Jesus which makes us the church, as our body's are the temple of the Holy Spirit. And in no terms does God say confess to man for forgiveness of sins. As only God can forgive when we confess our sins to him in the name of Jesus. As man can't see your heart only God can ? So how can man forgive sins. We are all sinners and only belief in Jesus Christ and what he done for us on the cross And if you confess Jesus is Lord And if you repent which means a change of mind and to turn away from sin and trust in Jesus and obey his commands which are not grevious as his way is perfect and brings Joy and love as we are filled with the holy spirit. We humble ourselves and have faith in God in all things. So my freind there's only one way for a father son relationship with God and that's through faith in Jesus Christ because he is the Lord God. No rituals no religious routine can get you to heaven and no good works because Jesus done it all and our good works are as filthy rags to him. It's total faith in the Lord Jesus and repentance comes with that through God's power through the holy spirit

@suziepeck5717 9 месяцев назад

@NikoHL try not to be nervous but I understand as I was in your situation a week ago. Just write it all down while you are examining your conscience. The priests have heard it all, especially with me! You will feel so good when you get out of there. If you forget anything, you are still pardoned of that sin, if you honestly forgot it and then just next time you go to confession, be sure to tell it. I was glad to get mine over with and it was very lengthy, so lengthy that I made an appointment with the priest at his rectory. It would have taken way too long in a confessional While others are waiting for me. Good luck! You can do it. All us Catholics totally understand!

Is "mistake" a word used in Catholicism? As far as I know, it's not. A mistake is when we are MISTAKEN... we did something in good faith, but it was accidentally the wrong thing, based on misinformation. It is a word popularly used in our culture right now, in lieu of "sin". (Meanwhile, a sin is not a mistake!)

@butterflyaway6895 4 года назад

I am looking forward to being able to participate in confession once I complete my sacraments(all but baptism). I love your videos. I was raised Baptist and have come to the Catholic Church in an unexpected way. My husband who is baptized catholic asked I go to Catholic Church when I wanted to take our boys(he now comes also, prayed about that one a lot at Mass) so I decided to give it a try. I went with a closed heart thinking there was no way I would find Jesus there. I left filled with the Holy Spirit and loving the Priest. I had a strong faith in Christ when I was young and was baptized. Now I see what I’ve been missing for years and found it where I least expected. God works in wonderful and mysterious ways. God bless you.

Hey @joseph jackson, know that I will pray for you to overcome this struggle. I have been in that struggle too, and it can seem unending. The evil one promises you everything, and once you fall, you feel all the guilt, and his accusations begin. Don't listen to the evil one! He only wants for you to despair. Know that, no matter how many times you sin, God is waiting for you with open arms in th Sacrament of Confession. Certainly, we have got to get out of our vices so that we do not sin in the same way over and over again, and this can be done only with His Grace. I highly suggest you check out Jason Evert's videos here on RU-vid, I am sure they will be of great use to you as they were for me. God bless you! Viva Cristo Rey y La Virgen de Guadalupe!

There's a good saying "anything worth doing is worth doing badly." 😉 Even a confession that isn't done well (but with the right attitude), is better than never going at all out of fear.

Bravo! I use the 10 commandments however you have given me other areas to use...this is phenomenal! Thank you for sharing this valuable resource Padre! ;)

So this is not so much about what Fr posted but I needed to tell this. We have been having issues with our 11 yr old daughter some behavioral but mostly psychological most anxiety and now threats to harm herself. This night she had another outburst and after calming down she kept asking who is that ( no one there) then asking my wife where my wife was (she was there to he whole time). Then claiming to see a ghost. Now was this made up likely yes. What I do know is I prayed to Christ, to the Holy Mother, St Joseph and St Micheal along with some of our Catholic prayers. What I can tell you is a peace had come over me while still praying like it never did before while praying. If anyone reads this I ask to please pray for my daughter Jordyn. I think I need to amend my in hopes of helping my daughter. Now I have the normal everyday issues as does everyone else but if I can be a little better perhaps or Lord will hear my prayers for my daughter. God bless Fr for this channel. Bless my little girl and her health. Thank Christ for hearing my prayers this night. Jesus fill my family with the Holy Spirit that we may find Your love and peace.

Thanks for these videos; they are like a refreshing breeze. This one missed the best 'cheat sheet' of all, the Ten Commandments. The stone that the builders rejected has become the corner stone- we need to recover the Jewish roots of our faith.

@PaperTrailsAnimation 7 лет назад

Actually you need to get to the faith that actually IS rooted. You need to trust in the gospel, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

Where is father Mike when I need him....He is awesome...Like a buddy you can talk to on behalf of God. And feel comfortable telling about your sins.

I am not Catholic at all but I do believe in the confession, repentance and renunciation of sin for a plethora of reasons. God please do not allow the enemy to delay, destroy or deny my divine purpose and destiny any longer. In my weakness make your grace, mercy, power n glory shine strong. Deliver me from the sinful circumstance and situation through Your Holy provision in order to cut out the sin. I need your DIVINE INTERVENTION I am imperfect so their is no other way.

Is God The Center of Your Life?

@PaperTrailsAnimation 7 лет назад

Actually that would be the Devil, but if you just believe the gospel how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:, you can have God in you. How bout it?
