Always Say These 3 Things To God When You Go To Confession | Padre Pio
My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, When you enter the confessional, you stand not just before a priest, but before the merciful Heart of our Savior, Jesus Christ. This is no ordinary moment. It is an encounter with the divine, where Heaven bends down to hear your contrite heart. Yet, many approach this sacred moment without fully realizing the gravity and grace it holds. Today, I want to speak to you about three essential things you must say to God during confession-three things that can transform your soul and bring you closer to the boundless mercy of our Lord.
First, say to God with all sincerity: "Lord, I am truly sorry for my sins." This is not just a formality or a routine phrase. It is the cry of a heart that recognizes its own weakness, its failings, and the distance it has placed between itself and God. True contrition is the cornerstone of confession. Without it, your words are empty. You must approach God with a genuine sorrow that flows from deep within your soul. A sorrow that acknowledges that every sin, no matter how small it may seem, is an offense against the infinite love of God. Only then can you begin to heal. As it is written, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
Second, say to God with a firm resolve: "Lord, I will strive to sin no more." Your confession should not end with mere sorrow. It must be accompanied by a firm purpose of amendment-a sincere desire to turn away from sin and walk in the light of Christ. Understand this: God’s mercy is not a license to sin. It is a call to transformation. When you say, "I will strive to sin no more," you are committing to change, to fight against your weaknesses, and to pursue holiness with all your heart. Do not take this lightly, for it is a promise made before the Almighty. The journey of repentance is difficult, but it is the path to true freedom. Remember the words of our Lord, "Go, and sin no more" (John 8:11).
Third, say to God with humble trust: "Lord, help me with Your grace." None of us can overcome sin by our own strength. We are frail, and without God’s grace, we will fall again and again. Therefore, in your confession, you must implore the help of the Holy Spirit. Acknowledge your dependence on God. Ask Him for the strength to resist temptation, for the courage to choose the narrow path, and for the wisdom to discern His will in your life. Trust in His promise: "My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness" (2 Corinthians 12:9). With God’s grace, you can rise above the sins that ensnare you and walk in the newness of life.
My dear friends, confession is a gift-a sacred moment where God’s mercy meets our misery. But it requires your whole heart. Say these three things to God each time you go to confession, and you will experience the depth of His love and the power of His forgiveness. Do not let fear or pride keep you from this sacrament. Run to the confessional, for it is there that you will find the peace your soul longs for.
