Examination of Conscience

It is Saturday and some of us have thoughts that turn naturally to Confession (Sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation). This is an excellent summary for an Examination of Conscience by Father John Trigilio of "The Black Biretta".

In the Sacrament of Penance the Faithful who confess their sins to a Priest, are sorry for those sins and have a purpose of amendment, receive from God, through the absolution given by that Priest, forgiveness of sins they have committed after Baptism, and at the same time they are reconciled with the Church, which by sinning they wounded. (Canon 959)
