Sometimes after confession, I leave the church and feel a little lighter, but after hours the old thoughts pile up again. I mean, the important thing is that we continue to monitor ourselves daily, not just at the moment of confession.
Yes, I agree with بشارة. The same thing happens to me. I come out of confession light, but after a while the same thoughts return. That's why I try to read every night a bit of St. John Chrysostom, it helps me stay more alert throughout the day.
Yes, that's exactly how I feel. After confession, I feel light, but the next day the same old thoughts start to run through my head. That's why I try to stop by the icon at home at least once a day and say out loud at least one sentence from the prayer of St. Ephrem, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to do it with the little one.
