Steps to the Sacrament of Reconciliation
- Examination of Conscience: Before going to confession, take time to pray and examine your conscious
- Greeting & Sign of the Cross: The priest greets us, and together we pray the Sign of the Cross. He invites us to trust in God and may share a reading from God's Word.
- Confession of Sins: We confess our sins to the priest. The priest may offer guidance and counsel.
- Penance: The priest assigns a penance, which may be prayers to pray, acts of kindness, or both.
- Act of Contrition: We express our sorrow for our sins, usually by reciting the Act of Contrition.
- Absolution: The priest imparts absolution, saying: "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." We respond: "Amen."
- Dismissal: The priest dismisses us by saying, "Go in peace." We then go forth to perform our assigned penance.If you haven't been to a confession in a while, we welcome you back and invite you to participate in this beautiful sacrament of healing. You are allowed to get this sacrament as many times as you feel like you need it. Take a step in faith and you will be very surprised with how free and peaceful you feel. Many Catholics express that they feel peace, joy, and relief. Jesus is calling, don't turn your back on Him.
