Has it been a while since you or your family has experienced forgiving power of the Lord through the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation? There is no time like the present to purify your heart.
Here's how to do it:
Before celebrating the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, be sure to prepare with an Examination of Conscience.
Enter the confessional. The priest greets us, and we pray the Sign of the Cross.
We confess our sins. The priests may help and counsel us.
The priests gives us a penance to perform.
The priests asks us to express our sorrow, usually by reciting the Act of Contrition.
We receive absolution. The priests says, "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." We respond, "Amen."
The priest dismisses us by saying, "Go in peace." We go forth to perform the act of penance he has given us.
