Sacrament of Reconciliation

Step 1: Contrition

Confession is not difficult, but it does require preparation. Before we enter the Confessional, we should begin with prayer. We should review our lives since our last confession, searching our thoughts, words and actions for those which did not conform to God’s command to love Him and one another through His laws and the laws of His Church. This is called an examination of conscience.

How to Make an Examination of Conscience

1) Begin with a prayer asking for God's help.
2) Review your life with the help of questions based on the 10 commandments or word of God.
3) Tell God how truly sorry you are for your sins.
4) Make a firm resolution not to sin again

Step 3: Satisfaction

To complete the sacrament of reconciliation, the person must still recover his full spiritual health by doing something more to make amends for the sin: he must "make satisfaction for" or "expiate his sins. This satisfaction is also called "reconciliation."

Pope Francis

“When one finishes Confession one leaves free, grand, beautiful, forgiven, candid, happy. This is the beauty of Confession!”
