Before Easter, many believers receive the sacrament of confession. Every member of the Church should do this at least once a year. It is not clearly indicated when exactly this will take place. However, the third church commandment points to the Easter period. – Receive Holy Communion at least once a year, during Easter, we read.
You don’t have to confess this at all. Many people make this mistake
Confession in the Catholic Church should take into account serious sins. In turn, the daily (light) ones are forgiven in a collective act of penance at the beginning of each Holy Mass. Grave sins include, among others: theft, fortune telling, magic, murder, fraud, adultery, sacrilege and idolatry. However, light sins include, for example: laziness, gossiping, forgetting to pray.

Conditions for a good confession. Sometimes unimportant things are said
It is worth adding that in order to obtain absolution, the conditions of a good confession must be met. It is a confession of sins, regret, examination of conscience, satisfaction to God and neighbor and a resolution to improve. There are also a few offenses for which we will certainly not receive absolution. This list includes, among others: insulting consecrated figures (including hermits, virgins and consecrated widows), direct violation of the secrecy of confession, and an attempt to ordain a woman.
As Father Mateusz Szerszeń stated in an interview that was published on the website of the parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Suchożebry, many people do not meet the conditions for a good confession. Moreover, the faithful often confess things that are unimportant. – In addition, there are confessions about one’s own feelings, mental states and other people’s sins. It also happens that people stray from confessing sins and telling unimportant things. On the other hand, sensitive people are also faced with the temptation of scrupulosity, said the priest.
