Confession

[ilovechrist]

i mix it up, it depends what Priest it is, if i don't know him then i'll go behind a screen.. but if i know him well, then i'll be brave and stand face to face

i must agree with mammo. face to face is more personal. i have never been able to go behind the screen because the confession just doesn't feel like it has the same fulfillment for me. i know it does, but it doesn't seem like it to me. As somebody said earlier, face to face forces more humbleness of us, and i think that that humbleness helps me to really be repentant. I know what i've done is wrong, so i don't mind telling my sins to a priest face to face. going behind a screen always has seemed like a cop-out to me in my life. By this i do not mean that anyone who confesses behind the screen is unrepentant or anything. But, for me in my personal pilgrimage, it just doesn't feel like it's the "right" way to confess (if there is any sort of differentiation between right and wrong )

take care and God Bless you all!!!
