Confession

Experience peace, love, and freedom

How to Have a Good Confession
What is an examination of conscience?

An examination of conscience looks at our actions and thoughts to see if we have done anything wrong or hurtful.

It helps us remember what we need to tell God when we go to Confession.

Going over an examination of conscience before Confession is helpful because it helps us think about the things we might have done wrong, and when we tell God about them, we can feel lighter, happier, and closer to Him, knowing that He forgives us and loves us no matter what.
