Confession explained
by Father Thomas DowdThis page contains links to a talk I gave on the sacrament of Reconciliation, otherwise known as “confession”. The purpose of this talk was to help parents answer questions their kids might have about the sacrament. The talk was recorded and broken down into separate audio files, creating “tracks” that are ready to be burned to a CD:
- 01 Welcome
- 02 Initial Questions
- 03 Step One: The confessional
- 04 Step Two: Starting words
- 05 Step Three: Saying the sins
- 06 Step Four: The dialogue
- 07 Step Five: Penance
- 08 Step Six: Act of contrition
- 09 Step Seven: Absolution
- 10 Step Eight: Go in peace
- 11 The sacramental seal
- 12 Confession and non-Catholics
- 13 The children lead the way
It is also possible to download all these as a single zip file.
