The On-Line Confessional

Be truly sorry for your sins. The essential act of Penance on the part of the penitent is contrition, ca clear and decisive rejection of the sin committed together with a resolutiion not to commit it again.

Begin your cofession with the sign of the cross.

Say: "In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. My last confession was?"

When the Father replies, read his words. He will assign you some penance. Doing the penance will dimish the temporal punishment due to sins already forgiven.

Father Franc will respond usually within 24 to 48 hours.
