Do you remember your first Confession?

pipelaser

..if so what was it?!

Was just having a laugh with the housemates last night(none of which are catholic and were wondering what it was all about!) I told them I remembered very clearly that I told the priest at my first confession

1. I bit my sister on the arm!
2. I licked sugar out of the sugar bowl
3. I crawled under the Christmas tree causing it to fall down!

I got 2 Hail Marys and an Our Father, I thought id gotten away lightly at the time :pac:

You definitely got away lightly....

Yeah, I had terrible lockjaw after it.

I can remember the day but not what I told the priest.
even when I got older going to confession always made me nervous. I don't go now,I have to many sins to tell him.

OROURKEDA SAYS :"OH GREAT ANOTHER CHURCH THREAD"

I have a vague memory of mine but clearly remember the 'sins' I confessed as they were mass produced for my entire class.
I told lies
I stole
I was rude to my parents
blah blah

JamJamJamJam

I always made up my sins because I didn't really have a whole pile to confess. If I was going to confession now the priest would self-combust.

dee.

I lied at my first confession which kind of defeated the purpose of it! I couldn't actually think of anything bad I had done around that time (I was a good kid, other than my lie of course!) so I made up some story about hitting my younger brother because he wouldn't give me a CD I wanted. I was terrfied of going in and I was sure the priest was evil and going to lock me in there, he gave off really odd vibes!

My teacher said that we could just say that we had sinned, but didn't have to specify what exactly.

So that's what I did.

This thread has reminded me the teachers told us what to say.
told lies
cheeky to parents
fought with brother or sisters.

I just made up stuff anytime I had to go to confession, I don't believe in god, nor have I ever.

I expect sins these days include joy-riding in stolen cars, arson, beating up old ladies and ripping ATMs out of the wall with JCBs.

I think we are all guilty of that.

I lied to the priest about breaking a window around the corner from me.

They gave you a script you had to say before and after the confession. I forgot a lot of what I was supposed to say, the priest got frustrated trying to help me along with it and told me literally to "fcuk off" and come back when I learned it properly.

Cheers god!

I can't remember what I said but remember my first confession was at the ceremony of light. I tended to say the same thing and make up some, others I didn't and told the truth sometimes but for the most part just had something to say for the sake of going to confession. Was made go for a few years afterwards but gave up cause as soon as I am out of it, I start swearing, so no point in going anymore, I'll sin in that way anyway. Even as a child I didn't really sin or sin much just went to confession to please the parents. Now I just don't bother cause I feel I can redeem myself of my sins by just praying in my own time in my own head without saying confession. Whether God takes away the sins or a priest should it matter. I believe in God but still doubt he exists!
So Confession is just pointless!

I said a bad word Father, you know the one worse than FECK. The one that rhymes with DUCK.

bleg

I didn't feel comfortable telling the priest anything so I said "sorry for swearing"

Flip the script....

Father is there something you'd like to tell me?

My first confession was a bit embarassing

Our class was brought down to the church during school to practise confession. There we were anyway lined along the bench waiting for our turn. My turn comes and I enter. I start whispering, because I couldn't hear a sound when anyone else was there, and I'm wondering why the priest won't talk to me. Stayed there for a while so it wouldn't look suspicious and left, summoning the next person and walking off to do my "penance".

This is the first time I've talked about it actually

Son Of A Vidic

It's hard to remember but I do know it was all made up.

Mine:
-I think my Mammy's top is ugly
-I lied to my Daddy when he asked if I'd my homework done
-I don't like my brother, he was meant to be a girl.

My mother nearly cried laughing when I told her all my sins in the car. . . She wasn't too fond of the first one though.
