There are many blessings in frequent confession (cf. CCC 1425- 1498). Among such blessings are the following: 1. It restores divine life to those who have lost it through mortal sin. 2. It increases grace and one’s capacity for grace and helps one to grow in Christian maturity. 3. It brings order and peace into one’s life by causing one to pause at regular intervals and ask oneself the all important question: Where am I in my relationship with God? 4. It improves personal relations with others by making one aware of attitudes and actions that cause pain to others. 5. It motivates one to practice the basic Christian virtues: faith, hope, charity, humility, self denial, repentance, detachment from the pagan ways of modern life. Making a good confession entails contrition (sincere sorrow for offending God), confession of sin (confronting our sinfulness in an honest manner) and satisfaction (making amends by following the priest’s advice and doing the penance he imposes). A good confession requires preparation by prayer, examining the conscience and the making the resolve not to sin again. At the sacrament Bless me, X Father, for I have sinned. It has been (estimate time since last confession) since my last confession. Confess all your sins. -52-
The Act of Contrition O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who are all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Amen. Do the penance given by the priest. -53-
