For many Catholics, confession is not only a religious ritual, but a deeply experienced meeting with God. < img src = "https://zycie.news/crrops/1c23f7/620x0/1/0/2025/04/19/2wfu98rfbzkqqiw4vgpdifhgfoh6ikc2s6lkfexad.jpg" alt = "priest @pexels" styles = "background-color: rgba (142,141,125.0.09)" > < p > This is a moment of spiritual cleansing, reflection on yourself and returning to the right path. Although the rules for joining the sacrament of penance seem unchanged, what the faithful come to the confessional. Father Adam Szustak, Dominican and one of the most recognizable preacher & in Poland, told what sins the penitents most often confess.

< P >According to the second church commandment, every faithful should proceed to confession at least once a year. Data on the Institute of Statistics of the Catholic Church indicate that about 75% of the Pole & Amp; Oacute; in this frequency use the sacrament of penance. For many, this is a moment of a detailed introspection, which begins with an examination of conscience & ndash; reflection on his deeds towards God, others and themselves. < p > In his popular Langusta internet cycle on Palma, Father Szustak has repeatedly emphasized that among the faithful, there is still a considerable misunderstanding of the ride between heavy and light sins. As the clergyman points out, a heavy sin is a conscious and voluntary breach of one of the commandments in important matter, e.g. & oacute; marriage betrayal or theft. In turn, light sins & ndash; Like laziness or minor lies & ndash; Although R & AMP; Oacute; morally reprehensible, they do not completely break the relationship with God. < p > In an interview with the portal deon.pl, father Szustak indicated four types of sin & oacute; in which & oacute; re usually hears in the confessional:

< ul > < li >Theft & ndash; Contrary to appearances, it does not only apply to serious crimes. The faithful admit to minor offenses & in: driving without a ticket, downloading illegal content from the Internet or using other people's resources. < li > lie & ndash; According to the clergyman, this is the second most frequently professed sin. It includes & oacute; conscious fraud, as well as inconspicuous passing into the truth, which, however, can have real consequences. < br />< br />~ 60 > < li > pride & ndash; difficult to see and even more difficult to confess. Father Szustak indicates that it is pride that often closes a man to accept the truth about himself and confessing to a mistake. < br />< br />< /li > < li > use of contraception & ndash; More and more Catholic & Oacute; in decides to confess from this sin, aware of the teaching of the Church in this matter. The priest notes that this topic is increasingly appearing among the & o os & oacute; b honestly seeking compliance of their lives with faith.

< P > Wspólie; Oacute; the image of confession, which emerges from the account of Szyustak's father, shows not only personal dramas, but also an authentic search for truth, moral order and spiritual peace. Although many faithful receive the sacrament of penance less often than once a month, the very fact of standing before the confessional often becomes the beginning of a deeper transformation.

< p > as Father Szustak reminds & ndash; The point is not for confession to perfect, but to be honest. And the most important thing in it is not the penitent's words, but the grace of God's mercy, who restores hope even when it seems that nothing can be repaired.
