A GUIDEBOOK FOR CONFESSION

Many Catholics desire to make a good confession, but they don't know where to start.

This short guide, written by Fr.  Donal O. Cuilleanian, can help you transform your Confessions from empty or embarrassing routines into genuine occasions of divine grace. This booklet, which you can carry to the Confessional, contains a brief message from the Pope on why Confession is so important and outlines the basic steps that make for a good Confession. It even contains some basic prayers that will bring focus to your confession, and gives you no-nonsense advice on how to prepare for the sacrament — including a detailed Examination of Conscience that will help you make your experience of Reconciliation thoroughly rewarding.
