To begin with, there are two ideas we need to ponder upon:

1. The main thrust of the sermons/teachings of John the Baptist and later, Jesus Christ was, calling people to repentance.

2. Jesus authorized his disciples to forgive the sins of the people, and repeated it twice. (Matt. 16: 19, 18:18 and John 20: 21-23) These passages amply demonstrate that Jesus came to solve the sins of the people through his supreme sacrifice; and to establish a sacred machinery for it In the Church. Even John the Baptist gave the testimony that Jesus is the Lamb of God who carries the sins of the world. In their weakness, in the fallen state, humans do work against the love of God. And God in his mercy is ready to receive the penitent back, provided he passes through genuine repentance. On the other hand, guilty conscience can create a lot of problems, physical and psychological to humans. The psalmist explains (Psalm 32: 1-2) that he whose sins have been forgiven, is blessed.

In Baptism and Confession, we are participating in the death and Resurrection of our Lord. Holy confession, in a sense, is the renewal of the covenant made in Baptism. Baptism cannot be repeated, since it is the once and for renewal of the person. Both in Baptism and Confession, there is the mystic process of death and regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Church insists that Holy Qurbana is to be administered to those who have confessed their sins. Remember Jesus cleansing his disciples by washing their feet before they are admitted to the first Holy Qurbana. He told Peter that he had no partnership with Him, unless He washed him! (John 13:6) Holy Confession consists of different parts and stages:

1. Repentance 2. Self-examination St. Gregorios Orthodox Christian Youth Movement 9

3. Atonement for sins

4. Actual confession, saying good bye to sin and submitting for a righteous life.

To whom should one confess sins?

Confession shall be made before that person to whom one have sinned, who had been wounded by one’s sins, and to Him, who can grant forgiveness of sins. It means that one needs to confess sins to God and fellow beings. Confessing sins before the Church through the priest is an essential part of it.

Confessing sins before the priest

To make the unseen presence of God a living reality to the penitent, and thus to make confession more real and convincing, the presence and intercession of a priest becomes vital. The priest serves as a link between the penitent and God. Here, the priest is the representative of God. ‘He who receives you, receives me” (Matt. 10:4). Public confession has its own risk and element of vitiating the community; hence confidential confession before the priest is being practiced in the Church for centuries.

Here is a question. How can one confess sins before a priest, who is not a good character? There are two sides to this issue: one, the priest has to try to keep himself impeccable and unblemished, as best as he can. This can instill more confidence in the penitent. At the same time, the ultimate value of any sacrament, confession is an instance, depends not on the personal worth and holiness of the priest, but the mercy and love of God. Otherwise, no sacrament could be counted perfect; for we are all frail human beings. The grace that flows in confession, for example, comes from God only. One significant and vital element in confession is that the interceding priest a “forget” the sins confessed by a penitent. This is endorsed as the nature of God himself. In the general prayer of absolution it is stated that God forgives our sins; and “remembers them no more.” This is the compulsory obligation for every priest, who hears confession; if he violates that testament in any manner, which shall certainly result in punishment from God. Confession a kind of catharsis that brings lots of relief for the real penitent. This is the fruit if the confession is sincere, real and genuine. Confession has been made mandatory for entering the administrative bodies of the parish with the sincere intention that only people who have renewed their love relationship with Christ shall only be present in such bodies!

The self- examination of a penitent shall touch on the following details: a. Sins that might occur in one’s relationship with God b. Sins which may creep in, in our relationship with other individuals c. Sins which can occur in oneself. Life after the holy confession is all the more important, for that is the evidence that we have been reformed through our renewed relationship with God. Our Prayer Book (Holy Qurbana Kramam, for example) contains a very helpful chapter which can be used as a guide for those who ‘preparing’ for confession. Holy Confession, if conducted, and availed in its ideal manner and divine intention, could result in complete regeneration of the individual and healing. Let us realize that it is the Holy Spirit who moves all through the sacraments. Holy confession has been ordained and instituted by Jesus Christ for our good. Let us make good use of it.

Orthodox Faith-based Biblical Reflections on the Sacrament of Holy Confession

Preface: Our humble Blessings and Prayers for all our Beloved Youths in Kuwait! St. Gregorios OCYM is an active unit of youth’s Spiritual Organisation of our Malankara Orthodox Church under St. Gregorios Indian Orthodox Maha Edavaka (Great Parish), Kuwait, which is resourceful and glorious Parish of the Diocese of Calcutta. We Praise Gracious Almighty God for being your Metropolitan, completing Ten Years now since 2009. We are happy to note that this year as well you are planning to publish a valuable Annual Magazine entitled ‘Theshubuhatho 2018-19’. This year’s special theme selected for the Magazine is apt and of contemporary relevance namely ‘Holy Confession’.

1. Introduction

The ‘Sacrament of Holy Confession’ is one of the ‘Seven Fundamental Sacraments’ of the Church, of which ‘Confession’ belongs to Obligatory Repeating category and is essential as spiritual pre-preparation before receiving Holy Communion (Qurbana) and all other Sacraments. In short it is the Sacramental pre-requirement for receiving all other Sacraments. The sacrament of confession provides Absolution and Freedom, spiritual Guidance and Counselling and psycho-somatic Healing of faithful human persons within the Church. Hence it is the Sacrament of forgiveness, healing and spiritual guidance. Generally saying, it is a regular psycho-somatic and spiritual ‘washing process’, ‘servicing process’ and ‘rejuvenating healing process’ for growing and enriching in Holiness in the life of Christian Believers of the Church. Sin not only alienates us from God our brethren and all the created orders in Nature, but also brings barrier preventing both the availability of graces from God and free communication at all levels.

Apart from its sacramental obligation nature, it has been become an administrative obligation also in the administrative set up of the Church. For instance, for maintaining the membership in the General body Meetings, Constitutional/Statutory bodies of both Parish and Church and holding official Posts both in the Parish and Church etc., the practice of at least annual Confession is essential. Although the Sacrament of Holy Confession is sacramental obligation in Orthodox Christian life, its practice is facultative optional, allowing personal freedom for the faithful Believers. This article is aimed to provide a comprehension of essential Biblical, theological and sacramental aspects of ‘Holy Confession’ in abstract nutshell form, in an Orthodox Christian perspective.

2. The Sacrament of Holy Confession: Institution and History

2.1. The Institution:
St. Gregorios Orthodox Christian Youth Movement 11

The Sacrament of Holy Confession was instituted by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Himself for soteriological growth in Christian Holiness. He authorized the Apostles saying, “Assuredly, I say to you, bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven (Mt. 18:18). So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you”. And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; If you retain the sins of any, they are retained” (Jn. 20:21-23). Holy Confession is not only keeping but also growing of Holiness by cleansing the sins, shortcomings, pitfalls, dirt of mind that comes every now and then, and deviation from straightforwardness. As Christ said,” He who is bathed needs only to wash his feet....” (Jn. 13:10). Likewise those who have bathed through Holy Baptism need the confession to wash off his dirt similar to that of washing the feet. Through Confession, we renew the covenant of Holy Baptism and take a firm decision not to commit sin any further.

Confession, the Sacrament of Repentance and Reconciliation has been part of Christian life from the early days of the Church, though documental details of texts on confessional practice are meagerly survived for the first three centuries. Regarding the history and evolution of the Sacrament of Confession, at least we can identify the following nine stages.

(1) Confession in Judaism of OT period:

(1) Confession in Judaism of OT period:

The origin of Confession in Judaism during OT period is quite ancient. The concept of ‘penitence and Confession’ is strong in Judaism during OT period. Apart from the book of Leviticus (Lev. 5:5-7; 16:21), the scripture on ‘penitence and Confession’ is seen randomly distributed throughout in OT. Psalms are rich in such scripture (For instance, Ps.32:1-2). In OT tradition, ‘penitence and Confession’ are closely linked with Sacrifice. In Lev. It is stated that after confession, forgiveness of sins would be received only certain animal or bird (mostly Turtle, Doves or Lamb, as per the gravity of sin) would be sacrificed at the altar, as penitence. The transgressions done to God are confessed in front of God, whereas those done to a person are confessed publically. Later on, there evolved two forms of confession— short one (Ashamnu) and long one (Al Cheyt)—that was added to the personal prayer of the faithful as well as. These practices were actually the outcome of the ‘synagogue worship’.

(2) Early Christian Confession:

The history of Confession, as our Lord instituted it, dates to the NT times itself. In Judeo-Christian tradition, the acknowledgement or even declaration of sin in public or private was considered mandatory to obtain the ‘divine forgiveness’. At that time and still today, the transgressions at various gravities of the Ten Commandments were taken as the major sins. These are documented in NT writings such as the writings and letters of Apostolic Fathers (Didche) and Church Fathers. It is very clear that the early Church recognized the authority of the power to absolve real penitent from their sins. As a part of Confession and Penitence, they also practiced pre-confessional special prayers, charity deeds, fasting and good deeds that glorify God. There was a practice of two types of confession were known in the early Church—(1) Personal and (2) Ecclesial, both of which are Biblical in their practice as our Lord Jesus has asked them to do (Mt. 18:15-17). Jesus visualized three-stepped programme—(1) confront the transgressed ones face to face directly, (2) if it fails, confront with two witnesses and (3) if both steps fail, then convey it to the Church— for Confession and Forgiveness. Thus the Church is the final authentic forum to hear the confession and grant forgiveness, provide consolation and enforce discipline. The ecclesial confession is of two types—(1) private and (2) Public—that evolved in the Church history. Earlier the Confession was Public Ecclesial and serious sins admitted publically, which resulted in penance that could take place days or months or years or even a lifetime to fulfil depending on the gravity and seriousness.

Father, as we practice it now, evolved in the Eastern Monastic Tradition and became a universal practice by seventh century both in Roman Catholic Church and Orthodox Churches—Oriental and Eastern. In Early Church, the Sacrament of Holy Baptism marked one’s repentance and authorized entry into the Church to participate in the Eucharistic life of the Church. Contrary to our present tradition, there was not much emphasis with private Confession of the ‘everyday sins and weaknesses’ of the members of the members of the community. The remnants of all these are still we practice in our Eucharistic worship such as giving of kiss of peace, recitation of ‘Hoosoyo Prayer’ and Lord’s Prayer.

(3) Confession for the ‘lapsed Christians’ (Lapsi):

(3) Confession for the ‘lapsed Christians’ (Lapsi):

The Church faced many persecutions from pagan Kings for the first 300 years in Roman Empire. One of worst persecutor King was Decius Trajan (in AD 250).Arrests, exile, confiscation of property, threats and even torture were employed to force Christians to abandon their faith. Similar persecutions were also taken place in Persian Empire. Such persecutions resulted in producing not only ‘martyrs’ but also ‘Confessors’. Those who compiled and obeyed the pagan Kings were excommunicated as apostates from the Church and were called ‘Lapsi’. As these lapsed Christians wanted to return to the Church during the 3rd and 4th centuries, they had to remain in a period of probation penance and confession before re membership and Holy Eucharistic Communion. The period of Penitence vary based on the severity of sin. Many Church historians are of the opinion that it was out of this concern that the ‘penitential system’ developed in the Church.

(4) Confessions in the 5th and 6th century AD:

During the 5th-6th centuries the Public Confessions were gradually stopped by the emperor’s decrees and Private Confessions started. Doing penance privately and even without any ecclesial office and liturgical support increased in the early medieval ages. Special rules were issued by regional and local Church councils on how to deal with the confessing Apostates/Lapsi. Those who did not belong to the order of Penitents had the access to Eucharistic Communion.

(5) Tari penance:7th to 10th century AD: A new approach to Confession and Penance became evolved regarding the prescription of Penance by the Diocesan Bishop to faithful Believers who fall into sin. Penitential manuals and tariff codes were evolved during this period both in East and West. Such Penance was called ‘tariff Penance’.

(6) Independent Auricular Confessions: By about 10th century the Parish Priests began to hear ‘individual Confessions’ and eventually the tariffs were replaced by prayers. Such Private auricular Confessions were become in practice in the Roman and Orthodox traditions. Till 10th century AD, the practice of hearing Confessions was done at the beginning of Lent and Holy Maundy Thursday, the day for reconciliation of Penitents. Gradually the practice of reconciliation and absolving of sins immediately after Confession and before the fulfilment of penance was introduced.

(7) Confession: Reformation Era:

During the Reformation period an attempt was made to remove the liturgical prayers and practice of all kinds of auricular private confessions, as the Protestants and Anglicans believed not only the auricular of Confession but also viewing confession as sacrament unbiblical. Their stress the view that ‘God alone can forgive sins’ and hence, there is no need to confess sins before a Priest who is a human.

During the counter-reformation era, the sacrament of confession was transformed from a social to a personal experience. Since then confessions have taken place in the privacy of a confessional. In the practice of such confession as a private personal experience, there is a difference. The Orthodox Church opts for a face to face confession where the priest is fully aware of the penitent, whereas in the tradition of the West, they opt to confess in specially constructed confessional

where the secrecy and anonymity is preserved. (9) Modern Era.

When the world plunged into the modern and then into today’s ultra-modern era, the general trend is that confession is getting lost its Biblical, ecclesiastical and spiritual nature. The general consideration is that it is a mere canonical sacramental obligation. The number of believers in Parishes who come for confessions with utmost repentance and dedication has degraded drastically. Confession in Parishes are either a ‘once in a year practice’ for maintaining membership in good standing at the Church’s general body, or it becomes a mere canonical requirement necessary to make ‘authoritatively worthy’ for receiving the fundamental Sacraments and to take Holy Communion. Such modern attitude is spiritually detrimental and hence not Orthodox way of life.

3. The Sacrament of Holy Confession: Theology and Spirituality

3. The Sacrament of Holy Confession: Theology and Spirituality

As every human being is born in a physical way, Holy Baptism assures spiritual birth. Among the baptismal gifts—(1) Sonship, (2) eternal life, (3) rebirth, (4) temple of Holy Spirit and (5) Spiritual immunity against sin, the last one as forgiveness of sin is mentioned in our Nicene Creed also. Although a Believer has acquired the spiritual resistance and immunity against sin and sinful atmosphere, being mortal every person may be contacted and victimized by the ailment of sin. In such situations Confession is a medicinal remedy for the ill of sin contracted in the soul after ‘worldly involvements’. Hence, Confession is the sacramental provision by which the faithful believer proceeds and grows to the ultimate goal of divinization and perfect humanization, i.e. the process of theosis. Sin is the main obstacle in our Christian life of ‘theosis’. What is sin? There are countless definitions and literature now available that deals with human failure and shortcomings under various labels once using the three-letter word ‘sin’. The modern society waters and dilutes the seriousness of sin, seeing it as natural stages of growing up or as misdeeds resulting by way of bad parenting, consequences of mental illness, an inevitable response to unjust social conditions, pathological behavior brought on by addiction etc. Whatever may be the definitions for ‘sin’, sin is something that alienates man from God. The Psalm 51, the weeping tears of King David, the penitent sinner uses three categories of wrong patterns and injustices in human life and that seems to be sufficient for our meditation. These terms are—(1) sin, (2) transgression and (3) iniquity. Sin (Greek: hamartia; Hebrew: chata) simply means straying off the right path or getting lost or missing the mark, which may be intentional or unintentional. ‘Transgressions’ are the intentional crossing of the boundaries of various kinds in life. The well-known saying of Saint Parumala Thirumeni, “those who breaks the fencing of life may receive snake bite” is relevant here. ‘Iniquity’ includes all sort of depravity of nature, ambiguity without transparency, betraying/deceiving and injustice. The seven mortal sins that enlisted in our liturgical Prayer book occur very rarely in our life.

God alone is the ultimate authority who, through His eternal Son Jesus Christ, gives absolution and forgiveness of sins. Christ has entrusted this authority to the Church, the mystical body of Christ being the Head, through His Disciples (Jn. 20:21-23). For extending and executing this function on behalf of the Christ and His Church, the Priesthood is assigned (Mt.18:18; 28:19-20) and hence they have the authority to forgive the confessing Sins of the faithful. As pronounced by the first Ecumenical Council of Nicene in 325AD, our Church encourages private auricular Confession before the Priest rather than public Confession. The council upheld the Church’s authority over all sinners and Penitents for their involvement in Holy Eucharist. Theologically and spiritually there are many doubts exists among the faithful Believers. Is it good or necessary to confess before a priest who himself a sinner? Is it better to confess the sins before God alone? Whether the immoral and sinful condition of the priest affects the sacramental grace of Confession? In order to clarify such doubts the following points are to be relevant.

As every human being is born in a physical way, Holy Baptism assures spiritual birth. Among the baptismal gifts—(1) Sonship, (2) eternal life, (3) rebirth, (4) temple of Holy Spirit and (5) Spiritual immunity against sin, the last one as forgiveness of sin is mentioned in our Nicene Creed also. Although a Believer has acquired the spiritual resistance and immunity against sin and sinful atmosphere, being mortal every person may be contacted and victimized by the ailment of sin. In such situations Confession is a medicinal remedy for the ill of sin contracted in the soul after ‘worldly involvements’. Hence, Confession is the sacramental provision by which the faithful believer proceeds and grows to the ultimate goal of divinization and perfect humanization, i.e. the process of theosis.

For instance, even if, the celebrant is saint mar Gregorios of Parumala, if the confession is without sincerity and dedication, it has of no use at all.

4. The Sacrament of Holy Confession: Procedural Aspects

The sacramental procedure for Confession is vividly narrated in our liturgical Prayer book. Every faithful Believer should strictly follow it in earnestness. Regarding the procedure of confession no other story is good enough as the parable story of ‘the prodigal son, uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ (Lk. 15:11-32). Many steps we can see in this story.

1. His fall from the abiding love of his father: he considered the worldly love and its pleasure greater than that of his father. He says to his father, “As far as I am concerned, you have already died. Give me now what would have come to me after your funeral”. I want nothing more to do with you or this house”.

The second step is our firm confidence on our heavenly Father who not only

forgives us but also consoles and protects us irrespective of our sinful condition. The third step that follows is our willingness to go to the Temple of our loving God and confessing before Him in the presence of a legitimate authorized Priest. The last (fourth step) but not least step is our humble decision making of beseeching Holy Spirit’s power not to repeat the confessed sins and finally (fifth step) expressing our earnestness in obeying God’s commandments and sustaining in our decisions of not to continue the sinful life style.

5. The Sacrament of Holy Confession: Psycho-somatic Healing and Health

Our Church very nicely incorporates within the sacrament of confession three aspects—(1) repentance and confession, (2) absolution of sins and sinful bondages and (3) counselling, consolation and healing of internal wounds that damage. In Orthodox Christian tradition sin is considered to be ailments that decay and damage the Souls, Mind and consequently the body. In short sins are psycho-somatic diseases that damage persons. There are lot of Biblical (1Jn. 1:9; James 5:16), ecclesiastical, patristic and medical allusions to the need of repentance and confessions, which highlight the benefits of it like sanctification, healing, wellness and lasting happiness. The 19th and the 20th centuries followed by 21st century are marked by scientific and technological progress and the resultant facilities and enriching luxuries resulted in agitation of man’s life. This in turn creates disturbance of man’s inner balance and leads to the ever deepening alteration of man’s communion with God resulting spiritual and psycho-somatic ailments such as anxiety and depression. Within this context, the utilization of the confession as healing sacrament is of utmost significant.

Conclusion

This article is concluding by quoting from nine homilies of St. John Chrysostom (AD 344-407) the golden-tongued (as the meaning of his Greek name) Patriarch of Constantinople. He was a profound notable Orthodox Bishop during the 4th and the beginning of 5th centuries in Syria and Constantinople. He is famous for (1) his eloquence in public speaking, (2) his strong attitude against power abuse both in the Church and Roman Empire prevailing at that time and (3) his liturgy for Holy Communion. He delivered nine homilies on Repentance in Antioch of Syria between AD 386-387, from which some adaptations are given below.

(1) Confessional Repentance is a necessity for both the sinner and the righteous man and it is a way of life for the faithful Believers.

(2) Confessional Repentance called to be an in destructible Pillar of the Holy Church. It is the liturgical tool of the Church that rejuvenates sinners and admits them into the life-giving Eucharist where they experience fully and dynamically the concrete presence of God.

(3) The whole experience of a true life in Christ is ‘repentance’ that culminates in metanoia—the total change and renewal from the heart and mind of sin to ‘the mind of Christ’ (1 Cor. 2:16).

(4) A person after realizing his mistake should not be ashamed to repent for that sin, instead he should have a conscious feeling before committing that sin again.

(5) As in the context of physical human body there are wounds and medicines, the sins as wounds and Confessional Repentance as medicine for the spiritual life.

(6) There should be a guilt feeling after doing a sin while a feeling of courage after confessing it with thorough repentance. Sin is followed by shame and repentance by boldness.

(7) We cannot simply blame all our sinful failures on the devil, as we have free will and choice. Therefore should resist temptations.

(8) Have you sinned? Go to Church and wipe out your sin.

(9) Do not despair even if you sin a second time, repent a second time; church is a physician’s office where the forgiveness is granted, not a courtroom where punishment for sin is exacted. May this great Father’s intercession be a guiding light to the Church and may it lead us to a perfect Confession through an utmost repentance and boldness.

Feba Elizabeth Sunny

Jesus our Savior

Is there a more worthy redeemer?

Has there been anything he cannot fathom Any wound or vulnerability that escape him?

The a ection and sensitivity he provides us Heals our fragility and hidden bruises

We sin and are sinned against Yet to our joy, Jesus is most committed.

Every nightmare, every disaster He helps us outlive faster All we need to do is repent, submit and believe That it is through Christ that we have to live

When we really taste his presence We start to feel the di erence A sense of purpose, a hint of courage But most of all freedom from sins’ bondage

adoration. He acknowledges the limits of his ability to reason and understand (Psalm 73:16), so he goes to the one whose ways and thoughts are higher than his own (Isaiah 9 55:8).

And in God’s presence, the psalmist’s perspective is lifted from the immediate and the temporal to the infinite and eternal. God gives him spiritual insight to the true nature of things: while the wicked may enjoy relative peace and prosperity now, their pleasure is but for a moment. God will not be mocked. He will bring judgment. He will do right. All of us are prone to lose sight of God’s eternal perspective. We so easily forget that we are eternal beings and that life, in its fullest sense, does not end with our last breath on this earth. All of us will spend eternity somewhere — either with God, in whose presence is fullness of joy; or separated from him, where there is only bitter weeping over the absolute absence of God’s goodness. While Satan tries desperately to distract us, we all know these things to be true — God has set eternity in our hearts (Ecclesiastes 3:11).

We, like the psalmist, become envious of the wicked and doubt God’s goodness and faithfulness when they seem to flourish while we flounder. Therefore, we need to go to God in worship. After bringing him your complaint and asking for wisdom, stop, listen, and recall who he is and what he has done.

3. Rest in God’s Power

Who led the psalmist through his valley? God.

When my soul was embittered, when I was pricked in heart, I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.

Nevertheless, I am continually with you; you hold my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will receive me to glory. (Psalm 24 73:21) God kept him during his dark night of the soul. God was there, holding him by the hand, guiding him with his counsel. God heard his complaint and God granted him the right perspective. The very question and doubts that first threatened the psalmist’s relationship with God, God used to draw him closer to himself.

Make Doubts into Doorways

His renewed affections for God are expressed in the glorious cry, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever” (Psalm 26 73:25). The man who was once plagued by such deep doubts and nearly renounced his faith became, by God’s gracious keeping power, a bold celebrant of God’s goodness and faithfulness.

Wrestling with God is difficult and painful. By necessity it means you will face hard circumstances that require humbling yourself before God. But when you do — when you struggle and wrestle sincerely and humbly — God is always faithful to give you more of himself in the process. And whenever you get more of God, your soul has reason to rejoice. So, rest in God’s power to turn your doubts into doorways to deeper joy in him.
