No matter what your sins are, God will forgive them all. Once Saint Padre Pio's mother came to him and said she was worried about sins she might have committed but forgotten to confess. "How can we know that in God's sight we are not great sinners?" she asked her by-then-world-famous son. "We try to confess all of our sins. We confess all we remember, but how can we be sure that God does not see many more sins which we have forgotten, or which we have not even recognized as sins?"
Her saintly son, the stigmatized priest, replied, "If we have goodwill and try to confess all our sins, confessing thsoe which we remember, God's mercy is so great that it will wipe out every fault and sin, even those which we have forgotten."
So be at peace, my dear friend. As Saint Faustina of the Divine Mercy said, "God IS Mercy!"
