I'm seriously debating on grabbing the transcript & turning it into a word doc. The timing of my finding this couldn't be better as lately my confessions start(after the scripted part) as "Well, this week has been kinda boring. All I can recall doing..."
Thank you so much for this Fr Christopher! I am trying to go to frequent confession but I sometimes struggle when examining my conscience because I feel like I am being scrupulous or sometimes presumptuous. This really helped understand deeper the meaning and benefits of genuine frequent confession. Also, I find the tips and advices very helpful! Once again thank you Fr, and for the channel for sharing this vid! God bless you! Ave Maria! ❤️
This was so helpful as I just went to confession today. There were so many people in line to confess and I was the last person in line (I had gotten there 45 minutes early). The priest finally came out of the confessional to ask that the last dozen or so of us confess mortal sins only so we could be finished before Mass started. I now feel the grace of God and His mercy. He knew my heart and will grace me with the strength to overcome my shortcomings. Thank you Father.
Great to see people queueing for confession! BUT, if a person is going to confession fairly regularly (once per month, say) there is no reason they should be any longer than a few minutes in the confessional booth. I feel so sorry for priests who have to sit through 20-30 minute confessions. It's obviously different for someone who wants to make a general confession.
This is one of the best talks on confession I have heard! Thank you Fr. Bernabe for your in depth dive into human weakness and the One Who forgives! May our Lord continue to bless you in your priesthood!
Maybe you should tour and give this talk to others! I don’t utilize confession like I should. I’m not sure if my sins are mortal or not, but I’m very prone to sin. Until I met Jesus I lived a life in deep deep sin.

Excellent video! I stumbled upon this by accident, but it was worth every second. I learned a lot and feel confident about putting these insights into practice. Would like to know from where can I download the material you were reading? Also, Would it be possible for you to give a talk on self-love? Specifically, what it is, how it hinders spiritual growth, and how to overcome it. Ave Maria!
The handout for the talk is posted as a link to a pdf you can print out. You can find the link in the description below the video. Sorry for the delay on that.

Could someone provide a link to the 42 page guide Fr. B is referring to that appears to be the handout to the group to whom he’s speaking? Alternatively perhaps someone could add links in the description section of this video to the various resources he mentions. I hope that’s not too much to ask, but I know it could be difficult to do. God bless you all, especially Fr. B!

At around 29:45 he says that someone may only need to go to confession one time in their whole life. I think that is what he said. I have never heard this before. What is his source for this teaching? Thanks
How can we know if a venial sin becomes mortal? Like cussing, I knows it’s a sin, and I try my best not to, but it still comes out and since I know it’s a sin, and I choose to act on it, is it a mortal sin?
Nope, I wouldn't think so. Is it coming from frustration or malice? Are you slandering someone, or letting out a cus when you burn toast? Using our Lords name in vein or cursing God is a different matter, obviously. But don't be too hard on yerself, while at the same time pray for help to overcome this. It's a habit.
Maybe they are forgiven, maybe they are not? Jesus granted His priests the authority to forgive sins. That's the only way you'll know your sins are definitely forgiven. It builds humility, too.

Do you agree with his statement around 29:45 about someone may need to only go to confession once?

This was incredibly helpful. The most in depth breakdown and explanation of proper confession I’ve heard yet. Thank you for this work.
Thank you so much for this talk, Father. It has answered so many questions for me. 🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this talk Father. You have helped me so much! God bless you!
In a world of uncertainty, here it is - certitude.
Yes do a conference wholly on Grace!!!

Amen
It was always also about venial sins. & I was told that only the grave sins remembered and all venial sins, stated in the confessional, are forgiven?
Every day

His source for the talk is the book by Dom Benedict Baur, OSB entitled "Frequent Confession."
Holy ghost spouse ?

Is this handout that Father is reading from available online?
Sorry about that. It is now linked in the description below the video. You can print it out in PDF format
@@saintstephenpdx Thank you!
I would really like to have the guide to confession emailed to me. May I please have the email address?
Thank you
Please email the parish office: saintstephen@archdpdx.org.
We will send you a pdf of the guide to confession.
@@saintstephenpdx thank you! I will do that.
Is this a SSPX church, FSSP or ICKSP?
Archdiocese of Portland Oregon parish.
If Jesus hears my prayers, and he does, then if I confess my sins directly to Jesus and not to a priest.
Are my sins forgiven ? If not, why not ?
Maybe they are forgiven, maybe they are not? Jesus granted His priests the authority to forgive sins. That's the only way you'll know your sins are definitely forgiven.
It builds humility, too.
Is this Priest in full communion? Thanks for the talk.
Yes, we are a parish of the Archdiocese of Portland in Oregon.
Where is this Saint Stephen Catholic Church located?
We are in SE Portland, Oregon.
What is the name of that book and the name of the author please.
