Easter is approaching – a time of spiritual cleansing, reflection and reconciliation. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/c1b4d0/620x0/1/0/2021/06/01/lkb9mmmvgbbrzprcgopbpqpqpqpqpwwoivujrnhdxn4qtf.jpg" alt = "confession/youtube" styles = "background-color: rgba (84,64,43,1)" > < P >In the churches, queues are set up to the confessional & oacute; and the faithful ask themselves the eternal question: do I really have to confess all the sins that I remember ? The Dominican comes to the rescue, father Adam Szustak, who & oacute; in simple language and without unnecessary moralizing explains what the meaning of confession is about the sense of confession confess.

< p > for many Catholic & oacute; in confession can be a stressful experience & ndash; List of sin & oacute; in the head, fear of evaluation and question: & ampquo; Did I say everything you need ? & & ampquo;. Meanwhile, father Adam Szustak & Amp; Ndash; Dominican and a popular retreatist from the Langusta Canal on Palma & Amp; Ndash; encourages you to reject fear to understand.

< p > & ndash; I have the impression that a lot of sin & oacute; in which they are not heavy sins, we threw it into a bag with the inscription & ampquo; heavy sins & rdquo; & ndash; m & oacute; wi religious.

< P > Not every sin requires confession. Bones & oacute; Catholic clearly light and heavy sins. Heavy sin occurs only when:

< ul > < li >Applies to serious matter (e.g. adultery & oacute; theft, & oacute; < li > was committed consciously, < br />< br />< /li > < li > was committed voluntarily.

< p > In such cases, confession is necessary, especially if we want to join Holy Communion. But many everyday deficiencies, such as distraction in prayer, impatience, laziness or minor lies, does not meet these conditions. These are not heavy sins, and therefore do not have to be professed during the sacrament of penance.

< p > what with light sins ? Good news: they are forgiven during each Holy Mass, during the so -called Universal confession (& I confess to the Almighty God & Hellip; & Amp; RDQUO;). This means that we do not have to confess them in the confessional, unless they burden our conscience and do not separate us from God.

< p > & ndash; The number of sin is irrelevant. Their & ampquo; accumulation & rdquo; He does not suddenly make them heavy & ndash; emphasizes Father Szustak.

< p > The priest indicates R & oacute; that the temptations and emotions are not a sin in themselves. If someone in prayer feels dispersed, has negative thoughts or struggles with internal conflicts & ndash; This is a human thing. Sin only appears when we consciously choose evil.

< p > Father Szustak encourages not to approach confession as a formal duty or emotional examination of conscience, but as to a personal meeting with God, who knows our heart.

< p > & ndash; What we confess should flow from conscience, not out of fear. Confession is not only the sacrament of guilt, it is the sacrament of love and trust & ndash; resembles.
