According to St. Teresa of Avila, a bad confession can land a Catholic in hell. My point is that in dealing with the Lord God with our soul at stake, we must not take any chance. There are many who think that they are basically good people and God is not going to care about every little thing they do that might not be right—well, their are dead wrong here! The Lord God is merciful, but that doesn't mean that he should lower standards. Remember that he did ask us to be perfect as the heavenly Father is perfect! He remains fair and just, and we must take him seriously. In fact, for the sake of securing our soul for eternity, it'd be wise to over-prepare ourselves for our final judgment. If we don't need the extra merit earned ourselves, the Lord can always use it to benefit other souls.
