Most people believe that priests do not reveal the soul
meaning. After all, the judgment of God still exists, and only the Lord can
judge a man and his actions. But since ancient times, Orthodox
families ranging from the youngest family members to
grandparents, without fail went to temples every
sunday day Now there is practically no such thing, and very few people seriously
thinks about what is confession, what is its essence.

neither to himself nor to God, the father forgives them. Priests are those
people who forgive sins with the power and authority that was given to them
By god. But sins will be forgiven only if the person
sincerely repented of them, and not just listed them. It is important to know
the real, true essence of sin.

The essence of confession is to repent sincerely, from everything
hearts. And most importantly – in the future do not commit sins and clean
their thoughts from filth.

You need to prepare carefully. Priests say man
confessed before God, and the father is present just as
a witness who at the judgment of God will confirm the repentance of this
man in perfect sins.

the priest to become his confessor. This father will not only be

to confess is the first important step. Now you need to prepare
his confession. This is not as easy as it seems. First
it’s hard enough to even say out loud your sins. Many
worry about being a complete stranger (father)
to tell their personal and secret.
But everything is avoidable. To excite from the excitement, it is worth
write on paper all that you intend to say, in what
repent to the Lord.
It is necessary to remember that one should come to the confession
cleaned up. More precisely, a person should go to confession after
stews (after fasting). If a person is a church, that is
constantly holding posts, he is almost always purely bodily. But
if this is a person far from the Church, then before confession you need three
day to fast. And that means not eating meat and dairy
products. The food in these three days should be simple, vegetable
origin.

to confess while fasting. In the easter post it is better to do
at least two times. Most priests still come to

but also thoughts.
A person is free to choose how often to confess. If a
a true believer will come to confession every week. But
if faith is not so strong – then you should confess once in
month.
For example, some believe that the father can listen
confession anytime. This is not true. In the Temples they profess after
the morning liturgy, after the festive prayers, at the end of the evening
service. You can agree in advance with your priestess and appoint

Your sins must be described specifically and without details so that the priest
