What is Confession? [blank_start]Confession is[blank_end] [blank_start]the telling[blank_end] [blank_start]of our sins to[blank_end] [blank_start]a duly authorized priest[blank_end], [blank_start]for the purpose[blank_end] [blank_start]of obtaining forgiveness[blank_end].

What sins are we bound to confess? [blank_start]We are bound to[blank_end] [blank_start]confess all our[blank_end] [blank_start]mortal sins[blank_end], [blank_start]but it is well also[blank_end] [blank_start]to confess our[blank_end] [blank_start]venial sins[blank_end].

What are the chief qualities of a good confession? [blank_start]The chief qualities[blank_end] [blank_start]of a good confession[blank_end] [blank_start]are three[blank_end]: [blank_start]it must be[blank_end] [blank_start]humble[blank_end], [blank_start]sincere[blank_end], [blank_start]and entire[blank_end].

When is our confession humble? [blank_start]Our confession is humble[blank_end] [blank_start]when we accuse[blank_end] [blank_start]ourselves of our sins[blank_end], [blank_start]with a deep sense of[blank_end] [blank_start]shame and sorrow for[blank_end] [blank_start]having offended God[blank_end].

When is our confession sincere? [blank_start]Our confession is[blank_end] [blank_start]sincere when we[blank_end] [blank_start]tell our sins honestly[blank_end] [blank_start]and truthfully[blank_end], [blank_start]neither exaggerating[blank_end] [blank_start]nor excusing them[blank_end].

When is our confession entire? [blank_start]Our confession is entire[blank_end] [blank_start]when we tell the[blank_end] [blank_start]number and kinds[blank_end] [blank_start]of our sins[blank_end] [blank_start]and the circumstances[blank_end] [blank_start]which change their nature[blank_end].

What should we do if we cannot remember the number of our sins? [blank_start]If we cannot[blank_end] [blank_start]remember the number[blank_end] [blank_start]of our sins[blank_end], [blank_start]we should tell[blank_end] [blank_start]the number as[blank_end] [blank_start]nearly as possible[blank_end], [blank_start]and say how often[blank_end] [blank_start]we have sinned in a day[blank_end], [blank_start]a week[blank_end], [blank_start]or a month and[blank_end] [blank_start]how long the habit or[blank_end] [blank_start]practice has lasted[blank_end].

Is our confession worthy if, without our fault, we forget to confess a mortal sin? [blank_start]If without our fault we forget[blank_end] [blank_start]to confess a mortal sin[blank_end], [blank_start]our confession is[blank_end] [blank_start]worthy, and the sin[blank_end] [blank_start]is forgiven[blank_end]; [blank_start]but it must be told in[blank_end] [blank_start]confession if it again[blank_end] [blank_start]comes to our mind[blank_end].

Is it a grievous offense willfully to conceal a mortal sin in confession? [blank_start]It is a grievous offense[blank_end] [blank_start]willfully to conceal[blank_end] [blank_start]a mortal sin in[blank_end] [blank_start]confession[blank_end], [blank_start]because we thereby[blank_end] [blank_start]tell a lie to the[blank_end] [blank_start]Holy Ghost[blank_end], [blank_start]and make our[blank_end] [blank_start]confession worthless[blank_end].

What must he do who has willfully concealed a mortal sin in confession? [blank_start]He who has willfully[blank_end] [blank_start]concealed a mortal[blank_end] [blank_start]sin in confession[blank_end] [blank_start]must not only[blank_end] [blank_start]confess it, but must[blank_end] [blank_start]also repeat all the sins[blank_end] [blank_start]he has committed since[blank_end] [blank_start]his last worthy confession[blank_end].

Why does the priest give us a penance after confession? [blank_start]The priest gives[blank_end] [blank_start]us a penance after[blank_end] [blank_start]confession, that we[blank_end] [blank_start]may satisfy God for[blank_end] [blank_start]the temporal punishment[blank_end] [blank_start]due to our sins[blank_end].

Does not the Sacrament of Penance remit all punishment due to sin? [blank_start]The Sacrament of Penance remits[blank_end] [blank_start]the eternal punishment due[blank_end] [blank_start]to sin, but it[blank_end] [blank_start]does not always remit the[blank_end] [blank_start]temporal punishment which[blank_end] [blank_start]God requires as[blank_end] [blank_start]satisfaction for our sins[blank_end].

Why does God require a temporal punishment as a satisfaction for sin? [blank_start]God requires a temporal[blank_end] [blank_start]punishment as a[blank_end] [blank_start]satisfaction for sin to[blank_end] [blank_start]teach us[blank_end] [blank_start]the great evil of sin[blank_end], [blank_start]and to prevent us[blank_end] [blank_start]from failing again[blank_end].

Which are the chief means by which we satisfy God for the temporal punishment due to sin? [blank_start]The chief means by[blank_end] [blank_start]which we satisfy God[blank_end] [blank_start]for the temporal punishment due to[blank_end] [blank_start]sin are: prayer[blank_end], [blank_start]fasting[blank_end], [blank_start]almsgiving[blank_end], [blank_start]all spiritual and corporal[blank_end] [blank_start]works of mercy[blank_end], [blank_start]and the patient suffering[blank_end] [blank_start]of the ills of life[blank_end].
