How to Make a Good Confession
Confession, known as the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, allows us to be forgiven of our sins and bestows on us graces to grow in our spiritual life. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss ways that you can prepare and participate in the Sacrament.
If you’ve been away from the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation for some time, embrace Jesus’ invitation to draw closer to him through this Sacrament--be not afraid. When preparing to go to Confession, it is customary for the person to examine their conscience, reflecting on the sins they committed since their last confession. The participant asks for the grace to make a good confession and resolves to amend their lives. Once in the confessional, the person can ask for help confessing their sins or follow the standard rubric. Next comes the act of contrition, absolution, and sometimes to do the assigned penance.
