Form for Confession
| You make the Sign of the Cross: | In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen |
| You begin your confession: | Bless me Monsignor/Father, for I have sinned. This is my First Confession. OR It has been (tell how long) since my last confession. These are my sins:(tell your sins). |
| You then say: | For these and all the sins of my life, I am sorry. |
| Priest: Gives you any advice and your penance. | |
| You make your Act of Contrition |
O, My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishment: 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 sin no more, and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen. |
| Priest: Give the absolution and when he makes the sign of the cross, you answer. | Amen |
| Before leaving you say: | Thank you, Monsignor/Father |
