They don't sound good. They're choppy and not poetic. And really hard to say because of that. I guess its better than Latin which they also talked about doing though.

I firmly resolve, with the help of Your grace, to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin.<br /><br />Why can't we just go in and then at the end go: Dear God, My bad.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-59117870199985477782013-02-08T11:14:55.776-05:002013-02-08T11:14:55.776-05:00Or as I called it as a child the "I'm sor...Or as I called it as a child the "I'm sorry" prayerLKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170091976914539273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-45895869973746243242013-02-08T11:14:34.497-05:002013-02-08T11:14:34.497-05:00I think it is

It's mostly just remembering the words, since there are certain prayers that are used at the beginning and at the end. And then, of course, there's the penance which is usually a certain number of prayers - Hail Mary's or Our Fathers. Sometimes there are acts that you have to do too, volunteering, etc. depending on the nature of the sins that you confess.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080372433953859587.post-88126054956585711212013-02-08T09:38:48.154-05:002013-02-08T09:38:48.154-05:00:D

But I think all you have to do is go in and say "forgive me Father for I have sinned its be X days since my last confession". I don't remember doing much else other than feeling really awkward as a kid trying to think of things to confess...like stealing my brothers toy or something.LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170091976914539273noreply@blogger.com
