| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| What is Confession? | Confession is the telling of our sins to a duly authorized priest, for the purpose of obtaining forgiveness. |
| What sins are we bound to confess? | We are bound to confess all our mortal sins, but it is well also to confess our venial sins. |
| What are the chief qualities of a good confession? | The chief qualities of a good confession are three: it must be humble, sincere, and entire. |
| When is our confession humble? | Our confession is humble when we accuse ourselves of our sins, with a deep sense of shame and sorrow for having offended God. |
| When is our confession sincere? | Our confession is sincere when we tell our sins honestly and truthfully, neither exaggerating nor excusing them. |
| When is our confession entire? | Our confession is entire when we tell the number and kinds of our sins and the circumstances which change their nature. |
| What should we do if we cannot remember the number of our sins? | If we cannot remember the number of our sins, we should tell the number as nearly as possible, and say how often we have sinned in a day, a week, or a month and how long the habit or practice has lasted. |
| Is our confession worthy if, without our fault, we forget to confess a mortal sin? | If without our fault we forget to confess a mortal sin, our confession is worthy, and the sin is forgiven; but it must be told in confession if it again comes to our mind. |
| Is it a grievous offense willfully to conceal a mortal sin in confession? | It is a grievous offense willfully to conceal a mortal sin in confession, because we thereby tell a lie to the Holy Ghost, and make our confession worthless |
| What must he do who has willfully concealed a mortal sin in confession? | He who has willfully concealed a mortal sin in confession must not only confess it, but must also repeat all the sins he has committed since his last worthy confession. |
