Confession

I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over
ninety-nine righteous people who have no need of repentance.

Luke 15:7

1. Pray that the Holy Spirit will help you to know your sins.
2. Examine your conscience.
3. Express in prayer your sorrow for having committed these sins, or pray for the help to be truly sorry.
4. Resolve not to commit these sins again, and to avoid the situations that lead to sin.
5. Confess your sins to the priest.
6. Pray or perform the penance the priest gives you as soon as possible.
