MAKING A

GOOD CONFESSION
• CONTRITION: sincere sorrow for
having offended God
• CONFESSION: confronting our
sins before God by acknowledging
them aloud to a priest.
• SATISFACTION: doing “penance”
to make amends, an important part of
healing.
Steps for the
Sacrament of Reconciliation
• Pray for God’s
help
• Recall sins against
God, others, & self
• Be truly sorry for
sins
• Resolve to avoid
sin
a. Begin by making
sign of the Cross
and greeting the
priest, ”Bless me
father, for I have
sinned.”
b. Then continue,
”My last
confession was
….” (weeks,
months, or years)
c. Confess your
mortal & venial
sins from your
examination of
conscience. You
may ask priest to
assist you.
d. After enumerating
sins, say, ”I am
sorry for these
and all my sins.”
e. Listen to the advice
offered and
penance to be
imposed in the
form of a prayer, an
offering, acts of
mercy, service, or
sacrifice.
f. Say the Act of
Contrition…
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having
offended you and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven and
the pains of hell. But most of all because
I have offended you, my God, who are
all good and deserving of all my love. I
firmly resolve, with the help of your
grace, to confess my sins, to do penance
and to amend my life. Amen
g. Priest says Prayer
of Absolution to
which you make
the Sign of the
Cross and
respond, “Amen.”
h. Priest offers some
proclamation of
praise such as,
“Give thanks to the
Lord, for He is
good.” Respond
with, “His mercy
endures forever.”
- Satisfying what
the priest told us
to do
- prayer &
resolutions
- renewal of life
