Re: Confessions Thread

Is it "Bless me Father, for I have sinned" or "Forgive me, Father, for I have sinned"? FS Catholics, weigh in.

Re: Confessions Thread

It's usually but not always "Bless me Father, for I have sinned."

Starting off with "Forgive me" is also perfectly acceptable. If the sinner in question is very miserable, they may also ask forgiveness using other words because they are too stressed to use the usual words.

I have never heard "Bless me Father" TBH. Not sure it's a regional thing or not.

Are you a priest, or just snooping on the edge of confessionals?

Re: Confessions Thread

[(Anonymous)]

Neither, you weirdo. "Forgive me, Father..." was the phrase drilled into us at school.

Same.

But it's been more than 20 years since I was in Catholic school and closer to 40 since I had my first Confession, so it might be changed, more recently,

Italian anon here and here we say "forgive me, father, for I have sinned" (perdonami, padre, perché ho peccato). In all my years consuming media in English I think I've always heard/read "forgive me, father".
For me it makes more sense since you're making a confession and you are asking for forgiveness to the father. The blessing comes at the end of the confession, sure, but you are there to "beg" the father to forgive you for your sins, not to bless you.
IDK man, maybe it's a regional thing like the other anon above said. People raised Catholics are big on sins and asking to be forgiven.
