Confession Father

For the last few months, neither my friend nor I have been able to confess to our father of confession for several reasons. Our first reason is because of the language barrier. We feel like Abouna does not understand what we are saying; therefore, we don’t get the guidance that we are seeking every time we confess. The second reason is cultural differences. We still hold fast to our Egyptian culture but we need someone who understands the temptations and tribulations of living in the American culture and trying to balance both worlds at the same time. The third reason is because every time we confess we always say the same thing and He always gives us the same answers over and over. For example, we always argue with our parents and when we go and tell Abouna and ask for guidance, all Abouna says is, “in the Bible, it says we need to obey our parents,” which is true; but, we are 17 yr olds and we have heard this ever since we were kids. We need something deeper and step by step guidance. Because of these reasons, we have been unable to partake of Holy Communion for several months. So, here we are today writing to Your Grace for guidance on what to do. Should we continue with our father of confession or should we search for a new father of confession? If Your Grace believes we should search for a new father of confession, who would Your Grace suggest?
