DISCLAIMER:
This is NOT a real confession in which you can actually be absolved of your sins.
This experience is only to show how confession usually goes in the Roman Catholic Church to those who are not experienced. Thank you.
Fr.Bob: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Bless me Father, for I have sinned. This is my confession, and these are my sins.


Fr.Bob: I see, well first I want to thank you for drawing nearer to our Lord Jesus Christ despite your sins. Often
times we love to get discouraged by our own failures and drawbacks but luckily Christ loves us the same despite those failures. The nearer
we draw to Him, the more light will be shed on both us and our hearts as darkness cannot lay where the light lays
itself. For your penance... how about 3 Hail Mary's and reviewing Chapter 51 of Psalms? Now go ahead and pray the Act of Contrition.

My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against You whom I should love
above all things. I firmly intend, with Your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads
me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen.

Fr.Bob: Amen. God, the Father of mercies, through the death and the resurrection of His Son has reconciled the world to Himself and sent the
Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon
and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Amen, thank you Father.
