Instructions
Step 1
The first and important step is finding a temple. Study the schedule of services, find out the time for conducting confession.
Step 2
It is necessary to prepare for the sacrament of confession in advance. It is advisable to fast for a week.
Step 3
But fasting is not enough; daily prayer is necessary.
Also, write down all your sins on a piece of paper every day, without hiding. Maybe your conscience has been tormenting you for some reason? Maybe you want to get rid of some everyday habitual sin-habit? Write everything! You will not be found in memory.
Step 4
It is necessary to come to confession in a certain form. The man should have long sleeves and long pants, i.e. no T-shirts or shorts. Women have a headscarf on their heads, a skirt below the knees, clothes that cover their hands. No bright makeup, defiant look.
Step 5
There is a service before confession. On which you must also pray.
Step 6
Somewhere towards the end of the service, you will see that there is a queue to the priests. Each one in turn comes to confession, or maybe the priest will choose himself who will go next.
Approaching the priest, be sure to inform that this is the first confession in your life.
Be prepared for him to ask you questions. Give the priest a sheet with your sins or tell everything yourself.
Further, at the discretion of the confessor. If he sees that you really repent of what is perfect, he will read a prayer and bless you for communion, if he thinks that you are disingenuous … he will take other actions.
