Want to make a good confession…?

In this episode I talk about the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola, together with how he did his confession and penance. I discuss the “acts of the penitent” (contrition, confession, and satisfaction [or reparation]), the acts of the priest (hearing the confession and the sacramental absolution), and I suggest some tips to do a good confession.

In this episode I discuss what is the sacrament of confession, and address some of the main objections against having to confess our sins to a man. I explain the difference between “perfect contrition” and “attrition” or “imperfect contrition”, and how the sacrament of confession changes our attrition to contrition. I present the example of St. John Vianney (the Curé d’Ars), which is a really amazing example for priests.
