WHAT TO SAY IN CONFESSION IF NOTHING TO SAY?

Often people don't know what to say at confession, especially if they take communion weekly. Elder Philoteus (Zervacos) compiled a list of sins that are useful to learn before going to confession:

I fail to love the Lord with all my soul.
I am sometimes ungrateful to the Lord.
I'm being suspicious of the lord.
I complain about my life and the Lord.
I pray without hesitation, awe, and heartache.
I do not experience the fear of God during worship services.
I'm standing in the temple at worship without blasphemy and attention.
During worship, I notice myself having impure thoughts. And I don't push them away.
When I confess, I am not fully aware that I am not just standing before a priest, but standing before the Lord Himself and confessing my sins to Him.
When I sin, I justify myself.
I seek to silence my sins.
I don't fight my sins enough.
I am taking communion without proper preparation.
I love not my neighbor as myself.
I don't have heartfelt love for my spiritual father.
I find it difficult to be patient, humble, gentle, restrained.
I like to eat a lot and indulge.
I can wish bad things on people.
I have bad, unclean, bad, proud thoughts. And not fighting them.
I am jealous, envious, angry.
I am malicious, I do not forgive insults and I wish to take revenge on the offenders.
I'm lazy to read the scriptures.
I'm lazy to go to Sunday services.
I'm lazy in doing my daily duties.
I use to be superstitious .
I experience spiritual delusion: I indulge in occultism, lessons, magic, mysticism, etc.
I have no constant pursuit of doing the will of God.
I can be ruthless to people.
I am cowardly to help a fellow man.
I rarely give in to despair and disappointment.
Try not to avoid the temptation of the flesh.
I am indifferent to my responsibilities, to people.
I am too passionate about hoarding things, objects, clothes, wealth.
I'm wasting my time.
I am indifferent to my parents, children, co workers..
I think of myself that I'm better than others.

Seven years ago, on February 18, 2019, Pope Francis appointed Bishop Borys Gudziak, then Eparch of Paris, as Metropolitan Archbishop of Philadelphia. His enthronement took place on June 4, 2019, at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral.

On this anniversary, we extend warm greetings to Archbishop Borys and express our gratitude for his steadfast pastoral leadership of the faithful of the Archeparchy of Philadelphia, as well as for his clear and consistent advocacy for Ukraine and its people.

Ἄξιος!

To mark this occasion, we invite you to watch a brief video recorded seven years ago, featuring the first address of the newly appointed Archbishop to the priests, religious, and faithful of the Archeparchy.

***

Сім років тому, 18 лютого 2019 року, Папа Франциск призначив владику Бориса Ґудзяка, тодішнього єпископа Паризької єпархії, митрополитом-архиєпископом Філадельфійським. Його інтронізація відбулася 4 червня 2019 року в Катедральному соборі Непорочного Зачаття.

Вітаємо Владику Бориса з річницею призначення та висловлюємо щиру вдячність за його пастирське служіння вірним Філадельфійської архиєпархії, а також за чітку й постійну підтримку України та її народу.

Ἄξιος!

З цієї нагоди запрошуємо переглянути коротке відео, записане сім років тому, з першим зверненням новопризначеного Архиєпископа до священників, богопосвячених осіб і вірних архиєпархії.

Десь тут була Подоляночка,
Десь тут була молодесенька.
Тут вона впала,
До землі припала,
Личка не вмивала,
Бо води не мала.
Ой устань, устань, Подоляночко,
Ой устань, устань, молодесенька,
Вмий своє личко,
Личко біленьке,
Та візьмися в бочки,
Поскачи навскочки,
Біжи до Дунаю,
Бери ту, що скраю.
