Confession is an important event in the life of every believer. Honest and sincere sacrament acts as a way to communicate a churched laity with the Lord through the confessor. Rules of repentance are not only with what words to start when you can pass the rite and what to do, but also in the obligation of humility and conscientious approach to the preparation and procedure of confession.

Preparation

The man who decided to go to the confession should be baptized. Important condition - Holy and unquestioning to believe in God and take his revelation. You need to know the Bible and understand the faith, which can help a visit to the church library.

It should be remembered and kept in the head, and it is better to write on a piece of paper all the prefected sins from the seven-year-old age or from the moment when a person was accepted by Orthodoxy. Do not hide or recall other people's wrongdoing, blame other people in our own.

A person needs to give the floor to the Lord that with his help he eradicates his sinfulness and diallas low accomplishments.

After you need to prepare for confession. Before serving, you need to behave like an approximate Christian:

• on the eve I dictate to pray and reread the Bible;
• refuse entertainment, entertainment activities;
• read the cleaned canon.

What can not be done before repentance

Before repeating the post is optional and performed only at the request of a person. In any case, it is not necessary to carry it out to young children, pregnant women and sick people.

Before the sacrament, a Christian refrains from physical and spiritual temptations. Installed a ban on watching entertainment programs, reading entertainment literature. It is prohibited to spend time at a computer, play sports or lazy. It is better not to attend noisy meetings and not to be in crowded companies, spend days before confession in humility and prayer.

How is the rite

What time does the confession begins, depends on the church chosen, usually it passes in the morning or in the evening. The procedure begins to Divine Liturgy, during and immediately after evening worship. Provided under the patronage of his own confessor, the believer is allowed to agree with him individually when he confesses a person.

Before the priest is arranged the line from the parishioners, the general general prayer is read. In her text there is a moment in which praying call their own name. After that, the expectation of your turn.

No need to use brochure issued in the temples with the listing of sins, as a sample on building their own confession. It is not necessary to rewrite the advice from there, what to repent, it is important to take it as an approximate and generalized plan.

It is necessary to repent honestly and sincerely, telling about the specific situation in which there was a sin. When reading the standard list, the procedure becomes formality and does not carry any value.

Confession ends with the confessor of the final prayer. At the end of the speech, the heads are inclined under the Epitrochil of the priest, and then kiss the Gospel and Cross. Finish the procedure is appropriate to the last blessing of the Batyushka.

How to confess

When holding the sacrament, it is important to adhere to recommendations:

• Remember without a rustle and repent in every perfect evil. It is pointless to attend the sacrament, if a person is not ready to humbly get rid of sins. Even if the meanness is made for many years ago, it is worth confessing to the Lord.
• Do not be afraid of condemnation from the priestSince the communion does not lead a dialogue with the servant of the Church, but with God. The clergyman is obliged to keep the secret of communion, so the said in the ministry will remain hidden from foreign ears. During the years of the church service, the priests released all conceivable sins and upset them, only insecurity and desire to hide evil accomplishments.
• Keep under the control of feelings and expose sins with the words. "Playing blessed, for they are consumed" (Matt. 5, 4). But tears, which no clear awareness of their achievements are not blessed. Some feelings are not enough, most often the triggering crying from pity for themselves and resentment.

  This confession is useless, on which a person came to release emotions, because such actions are sent only to forgetting, but not for correction.

• Do not hide the reluctance to recognize their evil for memory diseases. With the confession "I repent that I sinned thoughts, in a word and case" usually do not allow the procedure. You can get forgiveness if it was full and sincere. It is necessary for a passion desire to pass the procedure of repentance.
• After the most grave sins not forget about the rest. After confirming your most angry accomplishments, a person is going on the very beginning of the real way to calm the soul. Mortal sins are rarely committed and often they often regret them, unlike small misconduct. Paying attention to the feelings of envy, pride or condemnation in his soul, the Christian is becoming cleaner, all as much as the Lord. Work on the eradication of small manifestations of fabrics is more complicated and longer than over the atonement of a big evil. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully prepare for each confession, especially to the one before which it is not possible to remember your sins.
• Speak at the beginning of confession about what to say is harder than the rest. Living with the awareness of the act, for which every day a person Tries his soul to himself, it is difficult to recognize him out loud. In this case, it is important to remember that the Lord sees and knows about everything and is waiting for only repentance in the deed. This means that at the very beginning of the dialogue with God, it is important to reset yourself and state your terrible sin and sincerely ask for for forgiveness.
• The more informative and concisely confession, the better. It is necessary to set out their sins briefly, but Emko. It is advisable to immediately move to the essence of the case. It is necessary that the priest immediately understood what he wanted to repent. It is not necessary to mention names, places and dates - it is too. It is best to prepare your story at home by writing it, and then cross out all the unnecessary and interfering understanding of the essence.
• In no way resort to self-defining. Pity to myself makes the soul and does not help the sinner. Taking the perfect evil on one confession is not the worst thing that a Christian can do. Much worse, if such a situation is repeated. It is important to remember that attending the sacrament, a person is looking for liberation from sins. But he will not achieve this if he leaves them with him, every time finishing confession words about the insignificance of some misconduct or their need. It is better to set out the situation in your own words without justification.
• Apply effort. Repentance is a grave work that requires the cost of strength, time. Confession involves the daily forecasting of its own creature on the way to the best person. The sacrament is not a slight way to calm the feelings. It is not a permanent opportunity to seek help in a particularly heavy hour to speak out about sore, with a clean soul to get into the light of another person. It is important to draw conclusions about your own life and actions.

How to confess the child

There are no special rules for the confession of children, with the exception of the achievement of the seven-year-old age. By the first time of their child on the sacrament, it is important to remember some of the nuances of their own behavior:

• Do not tell the child about his basic sins or write a list that you need to say to the priest. It is important that he is preparing for repentance himself.
• It is not allowed to interfere in church secret. That is, ask the siblings questions: "How do you confess", "What the Batyushka said" and the like.
• It is impossible to ask the confessor about a special attitude to his child, ask about the successes or delicate moments of the church life of the son or daughter.
• Leading children to confession before the onset of their conscious age need less often, since the likelihood of transforming the confession from the sacrament into a routine habit. It will take place to memorize the list of his small sins and reading them every Sunday father.

  Confession for a child should be comparable to the holiday so that it goes there with understanding the sacrality of what is happening. It is important to explain to him that repentance is not a report before an adult man, but voluntary recognition of evil in itself and sincerely desire to eradicate.

• Do not refuse to disprove self-election Delician. In the situation at which he liked another father, it is important to affect it from this minister. Selection of a spiritual mentor - a subtle and intimate case, which should not be interfered.
• Better adult and child to visit different parishes. This will allow you to give freedom to grow by independent and conscious, not tolerating the oppression of excessive parental care. When the family is not worth in one queue, disappearance disappears to overhear the confession of the child. The moment when the offspring becomes capable of voluntary and sincere confession, it becomes the beginning of the distance of parents from him.

Sincerity is confessing

The priest as a psychologist can recognize how sincere people in his repentance. It happens confession, insulting the sacrament and gentlemen. If a person mechanically tells about sins, he has several confessors, pulls the truth - such actions do not lead to repentance.

Behavior, tone of speech, words that are pronounced confession - it all matters. Only so the priest understands how sincerely repentant. Flour conscience, embarrassment, experiences, shame contribute to spiritual cleansing.

Sometimes the personality of the father is important for parishioners. This is not a reason to condemn and comment on the actions of the clergy. You can go to another temple or contact another Holy Father for confession.

It happens that it is difficult to voice your sins. Sincere experiences are so strong that it is more convenient to make a list of unrighteous actions. The father is attentive to every parishioner. If because of the shame it is impossible to tell about everything and repentance deeply, then sins, before confession, a list of which is compiled, the priest has the right to let go, even without reading them.

The meaning of confession

The need to talk about their sins before a stranger confuses. Therefore, people refuse to go to confession, believing that God and so forgive them. This is a wrong approach. The clergyman acts only as a mediator between a person and God. His task is to determine the measure of repentance. The father is not entitled to condemn anyone, he will not fade out of the temple of the smoking. For confessions, people are very wounded, and the clergymen try not to cause extra suffering.

It is important to see his sin, to realize and condemn it in his soul, voice to the priest. Have a desire to repeat your misconduct, try to redeem the accomplishment of harm. Confession brings the revival of the soul, re-education and access to a new spiritual level.

Sins (List), Orthodoxy, confession implies knowledge of themselves and search for grace. All good things are doing strength. Only overcoming themselves, doing mercy, grieving virtues, you can get God's grace.

The value of confession consists in understanding the typology of sinners, the typology of sin. At the same time, an individual approach to each rising akin to pastoral psychoanalysis. The sacrament of confession is pain from the awareness of sin, recognizing it, the determination to voice and ask for forgiveness for him, cleansing the soul, joy and peace.

A person must feel the need for repentance. Love for God, love for yourself, love for neighbor cannot exist separately. The symbolism of the Christian Cross - horizontal (love for God) and the vertical (love for themselves and neighbor) - consists in awareness of the integrity of spiritual life, its essence.

Summary before confession (based on the materials of Orthodox publications)

Beloved about Christ's Brachi and Sisters! Pretending to start the great sacrament of the Holy Confession, looking at the mercy of God, ask themselves, whether we had mercy near, with everyone whether they were reconciled, do not have his hostility for anyone in his heart, remembering the cherished words of the Holy Gospel: "Especially released by man The sins of them will release and your Heavenly Father "(Matt. 6, 14). Here is a condition that we must understand and keep in the saving business of the saint repentance. However, in order to repent and get leaving sins, you need to see your sin. And this is not so simple. Prevents this pride, self-assessment. The bad act in which conscience refuses us, we tend to consider "chance", blame the circumstances or neighbors in it. Meanwhile, every sin is the case, word or thought there is a consequence of passion living in us - a kind of spiritual illness.

If it is difficult for us to realize your sin, it is even harder to see the passion ingracing in us. So, you can live, without suspecting the passion of pride, while someone does not hurt us. Then the passion will open through sin: the wish of evil the offender, a sharp offensive word and even revenge. Fighting passions - the main thing for every Christian.

Usually people, inexperienced in spiritual life, do not see many of their sins, do not feel their gravity, disgusting to them. They say: "I did not commit anything special," I have only small sins, like everyone else, "" did not stole, did not kill, "so many often begin to confess. But our holy fathers and teachers, who left us the repentant prayers, considered themselves the first of the sinners, with sincere conviction they appealed to Christ: "Niktegro sinned on the Earth from the century, the sinners of the sinned Az, the appearances and prodigal!" The brighter the light of Christ illuminates the heart, the more clearly all the flaws, ulcers and soul wounds are confined. Conversely: People immersed in the darkness of sinful, do not see anything in their heart, and if they see, they are not terrified, since they have nothing to compare with, for Christ is closed for them by watering sins. Therefore, to overcome our spiritual lazeny and the ingrowth of the Holy Church, preparatory days are laid for the sacrament of repentance, and then to communion. The period of fields can continue from three days before the week, if there is no special advice or the prescription of the confessor. At this time, the post should be observed, to keep yourself from sinful affairs, thoughts and feelings, in general, life is generally absolutely, repeated, dissolved by the affairs of love and Christian benefits. During the period of fields, it is necessary to visit church services as much as possible, more than usual praying at home, to devote time to reading the creations of the holy fathers, the lives of saints, self-sufficiency and self-adequacy.

Taking over in the moral state of his soul, it is necessary to try to distinguish between the basic sins of their derivatives, the roots are from the leaves and fruits. You should also beware of the petty suspicion of all the movement of the heart, lose the feeling of an important and unimportant, get confused in the trifles. Repentant should bring to confession not only a list of sins, but what is most important - the repentant feeling; Not a detailed story about your life, but a crushed heart.

Know your sins - it does not mean to repent of them. But what to do, if the hearts of the sinful flame is not irrigated by the waters of tears? What if the disigma of the spiritual and "flesh is nozzles" is so great that we are not capable of sincere repentance? But this cannot be the reason to postpone the confession in anticipation of the repentant feeling. Agone accepts confession - sincere and conscientious - even if it is not accompanied by a strong sense of repentance. Just need and this sin - a fossile inevitution - confess courageously and frankly, without hypocrisy. God can touch the heart and during the confession itself - to soften it, thin spiritual vision, awaken the repentant feeling.

The condition that we must necessarily observe our repentance to be taken by the Lord effectively - the forgiveness of the sorry of our neighbors and reconciliation with everyone. Repentance cannot be perfect without verbal confession of sins. Sins can be allowed only in the church sacrament of repentance committed by the priest.

Confession is a feat, self-sufficiency. During confession, you do not need to wait for questions from the priest, but to make an effort yourself. It is necessary to call sins exactly, not exactly the unsightliness of sin with general expressions. It is very difficult, confessing, avoid the temptation of the self-excursion, to abandon the attempts to explain the "softening circumstances" by the conference, from references to third parties, allegedly introduced into sin. All these are signs of pride, the lack of deep repentance, which is continuing to the sin.

Confession is not a conversation about his shortcomings, doubts, this is not a simple awareness of the confessor about himself, although the spiritual conversation is also very important and should take place in the life of a Christian, but confession is another, this is the sacrament, and not just a pious custom. Confession is a hot repentance of the heart, thirst for cleansing, this is the second baptism. In repentance, we die for sin and resurrected for righteousness, holiness.

Bringing repentance, we must be established internally in determination not to return to the sin professed. The sign of the perfect repentance is hatred and disgust to sin, the feeling of lightness, purity, inexplicable joy, when sin seems as difficult and impossible as just far away was this joy.

Human life is so diverse, so mysterious the depth of our soul, which is difficult to even list all the sins and sins that we do. Therefore, starting to the sacrament of the Holy Confession, it is useful to remind yourself of basic violations of the moral law of the Holy Gospel. We will carefully check your conscience and repent of your sins before the Lord God. The sacrament of the saint repentance has a major goal - awaken our spiritual consciousness, to open up the eyes of themselves, to come to his senses, deeply understand, in which destructive state is our soul, as you need to look for salvation from God, ask for a tearful and crushing the forgiveness of our countless sins in front of him. The Lord Jesus Christ is waiting for from us the imported consciousness of our deviations from His Holy Will and the humble appeal to him, as unworthy of his slaves, a lot of pregnant and those who have insulted his divine love for us.

We need to remember and deeply believe in the infinite mercy of God, stretching your arms to every handicraft sinner. There is no sin whom God for his unfriendly mercy would have forgiven a person who was a comprehensive repentance in his sins, firmly determined to correct his life and not to return to the former sins. Getting Started by confession, we will pray to God so that he will disgrace the doors of repentance with its almighty assistance to us, reconciled and connected with him, gave the Spirit of Svyataro for a new and updated life. Amen!

Confession cleans our heart and soul. But not everyone knows how to properly approach confession. Take it on this and talk further.

What words to start confession, how is the confession?

Confession is a bath that is washes the soul from sinful mud. It is not enough to simply recognize your sin. It is necessary to go to the church and to confession before God repent.

If some do not understand why it is necessary to go to the temple, then one more example should be given. The church is like a soul hospital. But if we are sick of the body, then visit the hospital? So with the soul, it is necessary to heal it in the church.

During the confession, you come to the temple and listen to the words of the Holy Father "Se Choo, Christ is invisible, to accept your confession ...". So the confession itself begins.
Next, you bow my head over the analog, the Holy Father covers you with the Epitrohley, and you can already say that you have in my soul. At this time, the index and middle finger must be put on the gospel or cross.

After your words, the father can ask you some questions and will also clarify whether you are in this sin. After you repent, the abbot of the temple reads a permitting prayer. Next you need to kiss the cross and the gospel.
