The faithful often make these few mistakes during confession. What is better not to do?
Many Catholics make common mistakes during confession, according to Father Jerzy Szyran. He emphasizes the importance of focusing on one's own sins rather than recounting unrelated life stories or good deeds. Additionally, penitents often describe others' sins instead of their own, and may lack seriousness during the sacrament. Vague confessions hinder clarity, and insufficient preparation can lead to uncertain statements. Father Adam Szustak advises against confessing emotions, temptations, or life difficulties, as these are not sins. He also notes that distractions during prayer are not sinful, and there is no need to confess previously forgiven sins.
