My son makes his First Reconciliation tomorrow afternoon. He is well prepared, but he is very nervous! If you have a moment, would you say a little prayer for him that he does not feel too stressed and is able to enjoy this moment? (Me too? )Thanks!

I am praying for your son Dawn. My twins made their First Confession last week - one of them was very nervous - and he ended up the one going last of everyone! But it went so well - and we made it a big day for them - my only sadness was that their godparents are not at all involved with them and were not there.

Praying for you son, Dawn. I still vividly remember my first reconciliation and how nervous (scared) I was.

You bet Dawn! I get nervous, too. I always stay on my knees praying they'll make a good confession.

How exciting.
Assure your ds that even 40 year olds still get nervous when entering the confessional.

Though, perhaps, that's not a good thing to tell him.

Praying Dawn. I was just talking with a friend this morning who wanted to know what the whole sacrament was like. I remember how nervous I was. Prayers for peace going up.
