This little book is a very good guide for confession. It’s quite thorough and is completely orthodox.
I purchased several of these for my RCIA candidates who have found them to be very helpful.
This little book is meant as a guidebook to confession, but it accomplishes so much more than that. He had a way of making the faith more vital, more real, more experiential. In this little book, he walks the reader through the purpose, practice and experience of the sacrament of reconciliation. He draws extensively from biblical sources to support the church’s teachings and his own arguments. He also references the catechism of the Catholic Church to show why he is stating what he explains in the book. He shares from his own experience. He states “Our sins rupture our relationship with God. They hurt Him.” This book will help you understand the practice of confession better and get the most out of it. It will help you restore your relationship with God, your relationships with others and help you develop a plan and tools to grow your own spiritual life through examination of conscience and through praying after confession and meditations on the experience of forgiveness. This is a great little book from which all Catholics could benefit.
As a new Catholic, this book took the cake for what I was looking for precisely in book form: a step-by-step guide to confession including examination of conscience. There’s some more in it too.. its so good, I bought another to give away and I would do so in the future again.
I found the guide to be very helpful with prayers before and after
confession. It is helpful in the examination of conscience and both the
traditional and modern Acts of Contrition are available.Since the sacrament
of Penance is one of the most neglected in our Catholic life I found the
guide very meaningful in receiving the sacrament properly. RB
I did not realize this review was possible for beginners, both children and new,entering into the Church, adults; for them it is excellent.
I will use it in that manner for my grandchildren as they enter the Catholic faith.
It and my entire order came promptly, just as stated. Thanks.
Appolicious – Everyone who was raised Catholic remembers readying for their first confession – trying to come up with serious but not overly offensive sins, debating between curtain or no curtain and memorizing the act of contrition.
