The answer
Pray that the Holy Spirit will guide you on how to respond when you are in that situation. You should always be honest. However, details are not always needed nor warranted. You have already admitted that it was a terrible mistake and you regret it, repented, and confessed about it. Thus, you must believe that God has forgiven you and you have a new beginning. There is no need to look back, but rather focus on the present and your growing relationship with God. You should also speak with your father of confession for guidance. Pray and ask God to send you a wise person for a spouse who will accept you for who you are now, not what you have done wrong in your past.Answered by His Eminence Metropolitan Youssef (opens in a new tab)
