#faith #prayer #orthodoxy #christianity At confession, it is important not so much to talk about your actions as to express your heart's contrition before God. The first words of confession set the tone for the entire conversation with the Lord. They should be simple and sincere: "Lord, forgive me, I have sinned before You." These are not just formal words. This is an admission of your guilt, an awareness that you need God's mercy. It is important to remember that the Lord sees your heart and knows your thoughts, so these words are a step towards His love.
