Wow! Thank you, Father Pine
Call no man father, for there is one Father and he is in Heaven. Matthew 23:9. Repent and trust in Jesus
@@Alexander07865 Yes, renounce even your "biological male parent", because he's not your father either. Riiiight.
This approach and attitude is exactly what drives people AWAY from the sacrament of Reconciliation and the Catholic Church.

St. Paul called himself a Spiritual Father. In the Gospel.
The more frequently you go, the easier and more complete the confession is as you become more aware of your faults and sins. Also, the priest is there in persona Christi meaning you are actually in the presence of Christ Himself (who already knows everything about you) fear not, His love and mercy knows no bounds!!!
Thank you Father, for working on this topic it's very helpful God has blessed you Thank you my Father and God.
This cannot be just a coincidence. I was praying about this topic just yesterday. God is good and works in mysterious ways 🙏
No coincidences only God - incidents ☺️
Why can't it be a coincidence ?? That's is exactly what a coincidence is ? If not; what is your definition of a coincidence ???
@@josephclancy3528 Anything good can be attributed to God and thus thanks to Him is appropriate.
@@electrical_cord So anything good you do as a human is not really due to you at all then but god ?? So you must never have an independent thought of doing good for someone else then ??? That doesn't make any sense ??? I have done lots of good things for people but that is because I thought to do them !!!
Happen to me, too. Amen 🙏🏻
I am converting to Catholicism; I am completely intimidated by confessing a lifetime of sin. Can I even recognize it all? God worked through me, this sinner, with such grace-- as both a social worker and a Pastoral Clinical Counselor. I trust my will to convert. I look forward to my very first confession. I appreciate your distinction between regret and contrition--and this state of recounting our sin, with great regret, as something God has allowed so we can be contrite and seek sincere redemption). I seek redemption. However, I am still quite nervous about "doing confession wrong." Thank you for this tutorial, Father Pine. The act of contrition you provide is nice to have. Thank you. Peace
Thank you father god bless you always
@VSGME50 I had very much led a sinful life prior to my 1st confession. I confessed "Everything but murder and adultery as I am single." AND he took it. They go easy on you, your first time.
One would like to recommend visiting |Type MHFM. The Brothers delineate the care one has to take to find a true priest and to understand the correct positions in relation to the papacy at this time in Church history.
Welcome home.
It can be hard the first time. Just be honest, to the point, and I felt a great sense of relief and weight lifted off of me instantly.
Then every week after, you shouldn't have much to confess, as that's the entire point of confession, to reflect on your sins and learn not to repeat them. Yes, we are all human, and WILL have sins, but a weekly confession should teach us not to keep repeating the same sins over and over, and teach us to be better people.
Every catholic needs this type of instruction and guidance for the great healing sacrament of confession. Thank you Father. Great.
Oh my Jesus. Forgive us our sins. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of thy mercy.

If you are Catholic I suggest you go to confession. Any parish ought to accommodate you. If you are not Catholic I suggest you convert. Most parishes have RCIA classes. In the meantime confess directly to Jesus Christ, he is always available anywhere. This short prayer is very helpful:
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner.
What a saintly Priest. Thank you fr. Gregory!
Confession is one thing, being able to truly repent is a gift of GRACE.
Father Pine, this is the best talk on confession I've ever heard! Brilliant, clear, beautifully helpful! Thank you. Ps: you're an excellent teacher.
Lots of little, yet profound gems. Love hearing Fr. Pine speak
Fr Pine I heartily would like to thank you for this beautiful and useful teaching. Being Easter/Lent, I needed it now more than at any other time. May GOD bless you and protect you always.
Wow, I like this priest.
Father Pine you have a wonderful way of communing with your audience. Really perfect for the younger population. God Bless you Father Pine.
I simply love Fr. Gregory's expressions, both verbal and facial 😂
Thank you for repeating the Act of Contrition! That prayer is very similar to the one I was taught many decades ago in Catholic school. Thank you and God Bless.❤
Yes, you are a nerdy, churchy, kinda Dominican doggie, Fr. Pine. God is so happy with you!! Great job sharing your special talent so we sinful plebians can be more pleasing to God as well. Thank you St. Dominic for nabbing this guy into your awesone Order of Preachers.
Yes! Domini canis = hounds of the Lord ~ dogs of God. Dominicans! 🐧😀🙌
Was that an insult or are you just protestant?
I am offended at this comment. Dear Jesus, please instill in people more of a sense of what not to say, etiquette and propriety and proper respect for the priest here present and priests in general.
@@AveMaria1917do not be. Remember that St Theresa of Avila called herself and the human race “loathe some worms” not out of hate or disdain, but out of humility. Remember St Padre Pio was known to be blunt and chastise people, telling them to get out of the confessional and come back when they had examined their conscience. We aren’t babies, we are adults in a life and death spiritual struggle, and we don’t have to be so informal as self deprecating at St Theresa or as the above comments, but there is nothing wrong with being that way sometimes in the right context with the right spirit about it. Some people are nerdy. Others are more like jocks or hippies, know what you are because it reveals your talents and gifts and can help you discern what God wants you to be.
I recommend this Act of Contrition, coming from our hearts ❤️ “O my God, I am heartly sorry for having offended you, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of your grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen.”
I’m not a person to have my ears tickled anymore the truth set me free so I don’t mine to hurt from the truth now I’m so glad there’s people out there tell as is amen
Thanks be To GOD and Blessed Virgin Mary 🙏🏽 I chance upon this, excellent explanation of Sacrament of Confession 🙏🏽 To GOD BE THE GLORY 🙏🏽 Thank you Fr. Pine 🌲
Condensed Catholic teaching.
Many thanks, Fr. Pine for this presentation.
God blessmyou and your followers.
Amazing...
Hey to my fellow Catholic-curious, y'all should start Here!!! 📣
Where was this talk when I was going through RCIA. Maybe I have grown in my faith enough to now understand you. Fantastic talk. Thank you. Praying for you.
My rcia class barely covered confession
@@matthewkeeling2065 Fr. Pine taught mine. I was teasing him. I just understand it better now.
Thank you Fr. Greg...just what I needed✝
Awesome👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼... Outstanding preacher. Prayers Fr Pine
Confess when the moment has matured to do so, not just because.
Confession is per se for mortal sin; therefore, anything else would be a devotional confession, devotional as different from necessary.
Dont just do the list, confess what is your struggle
Wow. I love this. It is great.
And yes, I never thought a few Hail Mary's, or Our Fathers was very just considering my sins.
God is So Merciful❤
P.s.,
I hated smoking.
For the last 20 years of my 40 years of smoking, I would hide it from people.
I never smoked in public; or in my residence.
I was ashamed that it had control over me.
I was completely addicted to it.
I despised the stench of it.
I despised how old and unhealthy it made me; both in how I looked and how I felt.
Mother Mary broke the chain.
It was her.
I couldn't have done it without her.
It's been 7 years now smoke free.
Thank you Blessed Mother.🙏🕊❤✝️📿
Wow.. I literally watched this video at 4am because I couldn’t sleep, decided to go to confession two days later only to have Fr. Gregory pine himself as my confessor and then do a bad confession 😭😭
Superb! This should be in every religious ed program as well as on a card with a link in churches.
This is the true Contrition Prayer that touches my heart:
Act of Contrition
O my God,
I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;
but most of all because they offend Thee, my God,
Who are all good and deserving of all my love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance,
and to amend my life.
Amen.
This would help me the next time i do confession. Thank you, Fr. Gregory!
May the grace of God be with you.
This is one of your best talks…usually I feel like you are over my head with content and words…maybe it’s beyond needed this. Played on way to confession.
thank you so much for this talk I wish i had heard it many years ago you have cleared up so much for me that i have been holding in ways negative to me and my Chritian life God bless you ! You are doing Gods work
this gives me joy and hope, amazing
Thank you father for being helpful to us that is gods grace. You are giving forward his love! Many blessings to you!
God Bless you Fr Pine, thank you!!
Thank You for the tips!
Thank you for your speech, it filled some empty thoughts and questions. God bless you
sweet Christmas! love this priest
Definitely my favourite on CZcams. Boom.
Nice avatar :)
Father, seriously,
I would be worse than a mess
if following the "minimum requirements'" of
One Confession & One Communion per year...
The Sacrament of Confession is much more helpful every 2'weeks,
if spiritual progress is not to be impeded/ delayed
And Communion on Sundays+
Would be wonderful to receive Communion at daily mass -
and those who still are able to get to a Mass daily ....would benefit greatly to do so.💐🙏✨
Btw: as a former smoker:
I needed 15 YEARS of efforts
to finally arrive at self-identifying as a non-smoker
What makes quitting difficult:
Over 100 pleasurable elements are mixed in with dozens of poisons,
a few examples: Sugar, Chocolate, Orange flavoring
Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Clove, Lavender, Strawberry flavor...
ALL of the hundreds of poisonous chemicals &
pleasurable nutritional/ flavorable features woven into cigarettes
used to be listed on the Philipp Morris Website (20 years ago)
Anyone working at getting free of any addiction:
Holy God will help you
If you do not give up+💖
I have never heard an explanation of confession. I am a convert and I realise all these years later how little preparation to be received into the was actually given by the priest who prepared me. I am 89 in a country that it is difficult to find Mass and the church I attended used the confessional as a storage area. Americans do not think you are being deprived of access to the TLM have no idea what it is like in other countries
Pray for us.
Thank you , I am a convert also, of some 58 years now and although I had the greatest love and respect for the lovely Priest who gave me hours of his time in faith instruction of THe Catholic Church, The Sacrament of Confession and Prayer were not gone into in great depth and they are both so important. The Sacrament of confession is as lovely as recievng our Lord in the Sacrament of Holy Communion , and yet Catholics today do no go ? I am not very good but I go when a little voice inside me tells me its time and I do not like using the grill, I would rather speak to the Priest Kneeling before him so he can see who I am , not just a voice.
I grew up in a Dominican parish 80's-90's, and NONE of the friars explained confession like Fr. Pine. It was no mercy, no help, no hope. In fact, I had a priest tell me I ruined my life...led me into intense scrupulosity and then a downward spiral of despair , self harm to stop myself from sinning, mental hospital, substance abuse etc
Yes, I would regularly be given the "dressing down" of a life time and a little hint that "don't you think because you came to confession your sins are forgotten...they are not" which is true, I will have to show everyone at the Judgement all my sins, but did you have to kick me while I was down too? well, I guess that's nothing compared to Christ dying on the cross for my sins...but, damn, I felt so sick after my last confession, I puked in the parking lot
Are you ok now? Praying so!
So sad to read what happened to you. This priest was so so wrong...obviously he was not praying for guidance from the Holy Spirit in his priestly life. I hope the Priest has reflected on the errors of his ways. God Bless u. I hope you are well now.🙏❤✝️
I hope you can find it in your heart to pray for the Dominican priest who was so wrong to treat u in such a bad way.❤

Thank you father
Thank you!
While I had exactly the same reaction as Fr. Mike regarding a flood of tears (even sobs) that I had to stifle so as not to disturb the others in the small theater, I disagree with his critique that it lacked explicit "God" references. I felt God's presence enormously.
I am reminded that "naming You is all in vain." God is the unnanable. As beautifully shown in Exodus when Moses cries out "show me your face." God puts him in the cleft of the rock, covers him with His hand and passes by so Moses can only see him from behind. This is more, I think, our experience of God. We understand afterwards what has happened to us.
I felt God's presence fully and quietly throughout the movie and as such was overwhelmed with emotion and tears. Explicit God references MAY have defeated the movie's impact on the unchurched or even nonbelievers. For the believer, for the Catholic, I contend that the movie clearly showed God's presence in Cabrini's life.
Thank you for this! I really needed to hear this. I will listen to it a couple more times.
Good!! But sometimes difficult, NOT to become emotional while confessing...
Thank you for your effort.
Praying for you continue to grow in holiness🙏🏻
21:42 thank you. The assurance I have now is because I know with certainty that God took from me that which with my own will I could not overcome in 33 years.
Thank you so much for this! I so needed this! ❤
Thank you Fr. Pine, for your guidance to a good confession. God bless!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Lord for answering my problem today.GOD IS SO GOOD .sana masolve pa ang iba kong kahilingan.Love you Jesus .

Thank you for posting, thank God for sending my way. Not by chance I stumbled here. “Worthy Churchy Causes”
Perfect, perfect,❤
thank you for this. i made a wonderful confession yesterday with the thoughts from your video
If I don’t go every week, I can barely stay in the state of Grace.
Just give more money the following week to make up for it.
Thus a good information and thank you Father for the talk regarding confessions. 😊
Praise be to God!
I would love to see Fr. Gregory's notes - what he wrote in there, how he wrote them.
On my way to confession, thank you for this 🙏
I confess to Almighty God. Jesus,and Mother Mary. I ask and pray to heavenly Angels and Saints. I pray forgiveness of my sins.
Thank you Father .I had problems with going to confession
Thank you Father pray for you Amen.
You are the cutest!!! Such a Gina comment. ❤
Thanks so much Fr. God Bless. PS: We still have magistrates and magistrates courts in South Africa today 😊 Then high courts with judges 😊
I'm waiting for my priest to call me to set up a time to talk with me I recently started going back to church and have not done a confession in 20 years or more. I'm a bit nervous but I bless the Lord to help me and I know he will. I was not married in the church so therefore I cannot receive communion until everything is taken care of. I have however been receiving communion but will no longer do so until this is Justified I love the Lord and he has done great things for me and I'm just trying to do the right thing by him thank you for sharing this has made me feel a bit better. God bless you
Thank you and God bless you Father Pavone and Alex McFarland for all you do. 🙏
Knowledge.
Your pretty cool father.❤🎉
Please link to the examination of the virtues by the Dominican sisters.
Amen🙏🏻❤️
Our priests ask us to go confession no oftener than once a month.
Bad advice
My priest told me to go once a fortnight as a minimum.
Strange. Perhaps borne out of busyness or unwillingness to pend the time
It’s due to busyness. Our parish has a minimum of 15,000 people or 7000 families. Confession is offered 3x week & appointments as needed.
1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness
That's confessing to Jesus.
@@brucetalbot9244 Standard Catholic teaching. What do YOU not understand?
Do not fall for the extremely stupid MADE-in-USA pseudo-belief! It is not true Christianity and makes one arrogant.
Bless you Father, I have sinned. Pray for me.
I went to confession after about 50 years this past Christmas. I had to do it face time face and I freaked out. The whole experience was a letdown. Patrick Madrid was hoping it would have been handled better. There are certain big sins I have on my mind that I want to verbalize. Is that stupid?
Thank you father and reviewing our sins repentant conversion sorry ray before confession repentance thanking fiat fiat fiat Jesus desires all to live in Gods Divine Will
Thanksgiving fiat fiat fiat ❤❤❤
What I hate is going into a confessional to find it fully lit with the priest behind a transparent screen and nothing but a comfortable chair to sit on instead of a kneeler..all anonymity is gone and that does not make me feel like I can be truly open and honest about my sins..I don't go to confession to have a friendly chat with a priest, it's a real put off to me.
I had not been to confessio for a long time and I had spent a month trying to find a Church that heard confessions. I finally found church and I waited my turn. There were two doors, I saw the priest enter one door and I went through the other door. I was struck dumb. It was an open room with two chairs. I could not utter a word. Father gave me absolution but I had not made a confession. I feel as though the Church has let the faithful down in the second Vatican Council, I feel lost as
I live at least 40K from the nearest Catholic Church. Pray for the faithful Priests who are being cast aside.
@@joan5856 I agree...luckily I have other options so I can avoid the churches that have turned confession into a farce. I'll pray for you, God bless.
go to a traditional latin mass parish
Why does another sinner need to know your business?
Lord forgive me for all my sins.I repent all my sins.Have mercy on me im a poor sinners.
please pray for me .
Thank you, Fr Gregory
ST. TERESA OF LISIEUX: “It is not because I have been preserved from serious sin that I lift up my heart to God in trust and love. I am certain that even if I had on my conscience every imaginable sin, I should lose nothing of my confidence, but would throw myself, my heart broken with sorrow, into the arms of my Savior.”
Father can I bring a small note during confession so I will remember all the sins I wanted to confess?thank you.
🙏🙏
Amen alleluia alleluia amen ✝️💝✅🌎🌟…
