The priest of the Orthodox Church created a mobile app for preparing for confession

According to inkorr.com: Father Andrii Novosad developed the mobile app 'My Confession', which helps believers prepare for confession. With its help, users can record their sins so they won't forget, as reported by 'Spiritual Greatness of Lviv'.

App functionality

This app is only available on Android. In it, users can:

• familiarize themselves with the sacrament of repentance - confession;
• learn more about the sacrament of Eucharist - Holy Communion;
• go through a step-by-step preparation for confession and communion;
• view a list of sins for convenience during confession;
• write down their thoughts or notes before confession;
• read prayers before the Holy Sacraments.

Founder of the app

The developer of this application is Father Andrii Novosad, who serves in the village of Lozy of the Vyshnivets district of the Ternopil Diocese of the Orthodox Church. He noted that the idea to create the app arose from his own experience.

Whenever I prepare for Holy confession and Divine liturgy, I read a lot of prayer texts. They are not gathered in one place, so I have to take many books - prayer book, service book, typikon, etc.

Father Andrii tried to gather and organize all the necessary texts to make it easier for people to prepare for confession and Holy Communion. His initiative was positively received by the head of the Ternopil Diocese, Metropolitan Nestor (Pysyk), who blessed him to create the app.

The emergence of the mobile app for preparing for confession indicates a growing interest among believers in modern technologies in the spiritual sphere and a desire to simplify the process of preparing for church sacraments. This application will allow users to better organize their thoughts and prepare for confession and communion, which will undoubtedly positively impact their spiritual development.
