The Individual Rite for Reconciliation
Confession
of Sins and Acceptance of a Penance
We tell our sins to the
priest. When we confess our sins, we show that
we trust that God always loves us.
After we confess our sins, the priest talks
to us. He names some of the ways we can live
a holy life.
Prayer of Sorrow
We pray a prayer of sorrow. This shows we are truly sorry for our sins. (.wav)
| Penitent: | My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. |
Absolution The priest extends his hands over our head or places his hands on our head as he prays: (.wav) |
|
| Priest: |  God,
the Father of mercies,through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, |
The priest makes the sign of the cross over our head as he says:
| Priest: |
and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. |
| Penitent: | Amen. |
