How+to+Confess

media type="youtube" key="TdNwS-2qYDk" height="344" width="425" I make my confession in this way: [//practice, practice, practice] // 1. **I go into the confessional and kneel**

2. **While making a silent Sign of the Cross I say, // " __Bless me Father, for I have sinned this is my first Confession"__ // **

//[After your first Confession you will say "__Bless me Father, for I have sinned. My last confession was (a week, a month) ago."]__//

3. **I tell my sins.**

4. **I listen to and remember what the priest tells me.**

5. **I say the Act of Contrition loud enough for the priest to hear me. Act of Contrition 6**. I **make a silent Sign of the Cross while the priest gives me absolution.**

//[Absolution is when the priest acting for Christ says the words, "I absolve you from your sins" as he blesses you.]//

7. ** I say, //"__Thank you, Father"__// and leave the confessional to say the pennance the priest gave me. **

8. I do/say my pennance from my heart, pray for the priest, thank God for having forgiven me, ask Jesus to help me be better.
