Tips on how to make a good Confession

1. Pick a fixed day every two weeks or every month and protect it…frequent Confession brings many graces and creates a greater desire to grow in virtue.

2. Daily examination of conscience helps to remember sins in a more systematic way. Make a list!

3. See this Sacrament through the perspective of friendship with Christ; even the small sins can affect the quality of this friendship.

4. Be attentive to the counsel of the priest…the Holy Spirit is usually very active in this Sacrament.

5. Spend a little time in prayer after your Confession to make a concrete resolution to improve.
