Re: How often do you go to confession?
On average every 4-6 weeks.
Sometimes I will go more often, but it has happened a few times that I couldn't make it for a couple of months or so.

Re: How often do you go to confession?
I used to go once during each liturgical season, but lately it has been about once every 3-4 weeks, as I have become increasingly aware of my sins. I actually went three times in Lent, because a number of things happened that made it clear to me what a prideful jerk I actually am.

Re: How often do you go to confession?
Weekly. I figure if I'm entrusted with the authority to deal with the grave sins of others then I should be submitting myself regularly to my confessor to rid myself of my venial sins. Plus the extra graces are quite helpful.

Re: How often do you go to confession?
I wish I was at the point where I could have a schedule. When my addiction isn't kicking in, once every 2 weeks. When it is, it could be as high as 3 times a week! I know. Needless to say I know the Diocese's entire confession schedule for every church that has mid-week Confession!

I go every 6-8 weeks, and DRAG my teenagers with me.

Re: How often do you go to confession?
I find this an interesting thread, confessoin is part of my study right now and I do wonder about how often.
If bad thoughts need to be confessed I would say weekly...at least lol
I have them pop up out of nowhere all the time.
I immediatly ask God to forgive me but do each and every one of those need to be confessed?
I am not talking about considering murder or anything but a judgemental thought about my neighbor or something similar.
Any help?

Re: How often do you go to confession?
Ha! I'm new on the Forum. But, I'd say I go to confession about once every 2 weeks, whether I need to or not. Sometimes more often, depending on how aware I am of my sins.

Re: How often do you go to confession?
I probably go to confession every two months or so. More, if really needed!

As often as I need it, which seems to be, at most, every 3 weeks. I went over 20 years without confessing, though. Even over the last 15 years, my confession was sporadic. I am making a concerted effort to participate in ALL of our sacraments on a more frequent basis, since I am also petitioning heaven for my husband to return to the Church with all his heart.
I used to sin all the time, and hardly notice it. Now, I am very uncomfortable with any sins, but in pain with a mortal until I can get to confession. I am begging God for mercy until I can confess my sin.
I think the more, the better, when it comes to confession. Being more aware of my tendency to sin has done nothing but improve me overall.
