I may have committed a sacrilege. I received
Holy Communion prior to confessing my sin
of drunkenness.
Please advise me appropriately.
John
{
What advice do you have if I committed a sacrilege in receiving Communion before Confession? }
Paul
replied:
Hello, John —
None of us here priests, so using
Father wouldn't be appropriate.
I would suggest you make a sincere
Act of Contrition for any guilt you
may have.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee.
I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of Heaven, and the pains of Hell; but most of all because I have offened Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life.
Amen.
Then, as soon as you can,
take anything you feel guilty about
to the sacrament of Confession.
Be
open and honest with the priest and
God will forgive you.
Paul
