What are the four steps to Catholic confession?

Answer 1

The first step is contrition, that is saying sorry to the people you have sinned to and getting their apology...Feel sorry for your sins too... this has cleansed you 50 %

The second step is self examination. Recall all the sins you have commited.

The third step is to confess it in the confessional box.

The last step is penance.......to say the penance which you have been told by the priest.

This has cleansed your soul 100 %

Answer 4

First you go to the priest and say, "I am in need of God's mercy, especially when I..." state your sins, and then the priest will talk them over with you. He will give you penance, meaning he will give you some prayers to say, or tell you to do something nice. GO back and pray, and you'll walk out of the church with a huge lift taken off your shoulders!
