1. Kneel down and say, "Forgive me father for I have sinned."

2. Then say: "It is, weeks, months,

years since my last confession."

3. Then tell the priest your sins and how many times you committed each sin.

If you cannot remember how many times, tell the priest about how many times, for example: "about five times." Or, you may say how many times you committed a sin every day, or every week or every month.

Do not say "Several times" or "many times"

4. When you have finished, say: "I am sorry for these sins,

and those I cannot remember and I ask your pardon and peace" 5. Then listen to what the priest says and the penance he gives you.

6. Then say the Act of sorrow (contrition). "O, my God, I am very sorry that I have sinned against You, because You are so good and loving. With the help of Your grace I will not sin again."

7. Then the priest will give absolution. After this, return to your seat to pray and do the penance the priest has given you.
