need for repentance is quite natural for a believer and church-going.Those who go to church rarely, and get their ideas about the religious life of the rumors and news portals, most believe that the sacraments have a mere formality, and no non-binding ritual.
Famous satirist, obviously wanting to pass for progressives and once again demonstrate his own wit, agreed to the fact that "does not need intermediaries between them and God."That's right, he is ready to talk to him directly, as a friend, without there church "Figl-Miglena."
Explanation reluctance to confess, as a rule, not sought their own spiritual laziness, and lack of time and decent-scale violations of religious and ethical norms."I can not sin!" - In itself such a statement shows pride come first in the list of deadly sins, because it is human, it pushes all the rest.
In addition, many do not know how to confess, what to say and how to prepare for this sacrament, and instead, to learn about it, are embarrassed to admit their ignorance, often in adulthood.And only experienced a real mountain, some of us flock to the temple.As it turns out, sins more than enough, and tell the priest, there is nothing.
But quite easy to learn how to confess.What can I say, a serious decision, and initially causes shyness.It's hard to admit they were wrong to relatives or subordinates in the service, which offended.In our "civilized society" cultivated the belief that, to apologize to those whom one considers beneath him, he drops his credibility and lose all respect.In fact it is not, but quite the contrary, just beat his own pride very difficult.
But apart from the moral barriers, there are "technical".Preparing for the rite includes three-day fast, also to come to the service early in the morning, and before that in the church know the days when the sacrament is performed.To find out how to confess, what to say and how to act, we can turn to friends and acquaintances, they advise.But, in general, no special rules.When he came to the service, you need to defend it in fervent prayer, and stand in the common queue.Should not hurry.The temples are cases when the priest refused to confess squabbled because of the queue.
will be very useful for the parishioners if he previously make a list of their own sins, and even jotted it down on paper, referring to the Commandments and the list of deadly sins.No need to dissemble, deceive not only can a priest (he is a living person), but even himself, but God can not be misleading.While waiting, you can see the example of others, how to confess.What can I say, you need to decide on their own, but the main thing that it was genuine, and it contained remorse.It is not allowed to boast of its "delete" and to justify its own actions by saying that someone "first principles."Of course, there is the mystery of the confession, and you can not worry about what information would be sins to someone famous.On the priest cast the consequences of their sins should not, especially since the people around is not always blind and can learn about a bad deed from their sources.
After the confession can be imposed penance in the form of prayers or reading the additional post, but the issue of indulgences in the Orthodox Church is not accepted, so repentance must be accompanied by a waiver of further misconduct, or any absolution is no longer valid.Confession - Conversations with God for the purpose of reconciliation, and the mood has to be appropriate, as in everyone who asks for forgiveness.God bless you!
