About this listen

In order to receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily, we must do as follows:

1, We must examine our conscience, i.e., we must carefully consider what sins we have committed and not yet confessed.
2. We must truly repent of our sins, that is, we must grieve from our heart that we have offended God by them, and the thought of offending Him must be abhorrent to us.
3. We must make a firm resolution, that is, we must stead fastly determine with the help of God to desist from all sin, and to avoid the occasions of sin for the future.
4. We are under the obligation of confessing our sins, that is, we must secretly to the priest enumerate all the mortal sins of which we are conscious, accurately, simply and humbly; with the number of times we have committed them, besides all that is necessary to make known the nature of the sin (Council of Trent, 14, 5, 7).
5. Satisfaction must be made: i.e., we must perform the pen ance enjoined upon us by the confessor.
