Can you imagine yourself actually looking
forward to going to confession?
It
can happen! When you are properly prepared for this sacrament not
only will you find joy in going to confession you will see definite,
concrete results when you do go. Your relationships with others will
improve dramatically. The most exciting thing that will happen is that God
will become your closest friend, your strongest defender and your greatest
support.
The sacrament of
reconciliation is a powerful sacrament.
One
that for many of us we do not understand or taken full advantage of. It's
truly part of the hidden treasure in the field that the gospel talks about
when we discover Jesus Christ in our life.
This workbook is for adults. It's a solid, honest guide to bring your faith and walk with God into a maturity that will help you to face your problems, obstacles and difficulties with greater understanding and acceptance. It will show you what doors you need to open and move through to find greater peace, joy and energy in your day to day life, your relationship with others and your walk with God.
In our workbook there are four different examination of conscience pages covering these four areas.

friends
2. My relationship with
self
Each week, month or
whatever time frame you choose to prayerfully work with - you will answer a simple four page
section of questions. When they are completed you will have a carefully
examined look at what needs to be confessed and what needs to be worked
on. That's your preparation work. The time of grace comes when you bundle
up your courage and find a priest and go to confession. If you haven't
been to confession for a long time you may find yourself still nervous but
when you are properly prepared it will become easier and soon you will not
want to miss a regularly scheduled visit with your confessor!
