Being a Syrian Orthodox, I have a doubt... Will my sind be forgiven if I get HUSOYO/(absolution prayer only with no confession) instead of confession of sins? I usually confess once in a month but the weeks in between, if I get HUSOYO will it forgive my sins?

I would suggest we go back to the Bible for a fundamental question such as this: First Jesus taught us to pray: Abba Father....forgive our trespasses as we ..; and 1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." ; "Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus-Heb. 10:19. Traditions, rituals, word of absolution will not have any bearing. They will not be there when you stand there! If you in faith go by the Scripture, the Word will be there.
