Recently, every time I go to Confession, my parents tell me that I don't really need to go confess my sins. They think that I don't commit any sins at all :confused: or that they're not serious enough to warrant Confession. I know that I must confess my sins, but I sometimes feel discouraged and am unsure as to how to respond to their remarks.
My family is very non-religious... My mom was taught by some Catholic nuns when she was a young girl that as long as you say you're sorry to God privately, God will forgive you. My dad was brought up Lutheran but doesn't practice any faith that I'm aware of.
What might be a good way to respectfully respond to my family members about Confession? :) Thanks.
