Catholics, please answer me? Confession:
Q: Catholics, please answer me?
I’m female. Long time ago I had a sexual relationship with another woman.
Should I go to confess it to a priest? My life has changed this time I want to be a good christian a good catholic?
Please don’t judge me.
A: It’s always a good idea to confess every serious sin, no matter how long ago it might have been committed.
Voluntary confession, accompanied by a firm intention to repent, means that God does not have to find you guilty of your sins, and it generally eliminates any need for divine judgment.

The sacrament of reconciliation also effectively replaces any grace that might have been lost, as a result of that sin.
Properly and consistently done, that’s as close to a “free ticket to heaven” as anyone is ever likely to get … courtesy of Jesus Christ, and the only Church he ever founded, for the purpose of our salvation … the Catholic Church.

We are all sinners! Don’t blame yourself. God forgives us all. There is the story in the bible — Jesus saw the townspeople throwing stones at a woman who commited adultery. Jesus said “Stop - if any one of you are without sin - be the first one to cast the stone”!
I was ashamed of something I did years ago. I went to a priest and confessed. You will feel much better……good luck!
