    Normal RITES FOR CONFESSION OR PENANCE

    Post by ~~SMC~~ Mon Sep 21, 2009 1:08 pm

    AS
    WHAT I HAVE SAID, THIS RITE IS AN OPTION FOR THOSE WHO GOT THIS
    SACRAMENT. YOU CAN HAVE OTHER WAYS TO PRESENT IT TO THE CLASS. YOU MAY
    HAVE A DRAMA, INTERPRETATIVE DANCE (WITH CHOREOGRAPHY) AND MANY OTHER
    WAYS OF PRESENTING IT. ALTERNATIVELY, THIS IS THE RITE FOR THE
    SACRAMENT OF PENANCE.

    Pope Benedict XVI
    "To live life to the full in freedom we must overcome the test that
    this freedom entails, that is, temptation. Only if he is freed from the
    slavery of falsehood and sin can the human person, through the
    obedience of faith that opens him to the truth, find the full meaning
    of his life and attain peace, love, and joy."


    Angelus March 5, 2006


    "In
    order to respond to the call of God and start on our journey, it is not
    necessary to be already perfect. We know that the prodigal son's
    awareness of his own sin allowed him to set out on his return journey
    and thus feel the joy of reconciliation with the Father. Weaknesses and
    human limitations do not present an obstacle, as long as they help make
    us more aware of the fact that we are in need of the redeeming grace of
    Christ."




    Message for the 43rd World Day of Prayers for Vocations
    March 30, 2006



    Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in your sight, and I am no more worthy to be called your son.
    ­ Luke 15:21

    For
    all have sinned and come short of the glory of God; being justified
    freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
    Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His
    blood, to declare His righteousness for the remission of sins that are
    past, through the forbearance of God.
    ­ Romans 3:23-25

    Jesus said, "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me."
    ­ John 14:6

    In [Jesus Christ] we have redemption through His blood, even the forgiveness of sins.
    ­ Colossians 1:14

    Then
    Jesus said to [His apostles], "Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent
    me, even so send I you. And when He had said this, He breathed on them,
    and said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose soever sins you
    remit, they are remitted, and whose soever sins you retain, they are
    retained".
    ­ John 20:12, 22-23







    The Sacrament of Penance
    The
    Catechism of the Catholic Church states: "The forgiveness of sins
    committed after Baptism is conferred by a particular sacrament, called
    the sacrament of conversion, confession, penance, or reconciliation."
    (CCC 1486)

    At the beginning of the chapter on the Sacrament of Penance, the Catechism quotes Lumen Gentium [Light of the World], the Second Vatican Council's document on the Church in the world:

    "Those
    who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy
    for the offense committed against Him, and are, at the same time,
    reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and
    which by charity, by example, and by prayer, labors for their
    conversion." (Lumen Gentium 11.2)

    The
    Catechism explains, "To return to communion with God after having lost
    it through sin is a process born of the grace of God, who is rich in
    mercy and solicitous for the salvation of men. One must ask for this
    precious gift for oneself and for others.


    "The
    movement of return to God, called conversion and repentance, entails
    sorrow for and abhorrence of sins committed, and the firm purpose of
    sinning no more in the future. Conversion touches the past and the
    future, and is nourished by hope in God's mercy." (CCC 1489-90)

    In 1966, Pope Paul VI issued an Apostolic Constitution on Penance, Paenitemini,
    a high-level document on the importance of the sacrament. "By first of
    all examining more thoroughly the link which binds it to Christ and His
    salvific action, [the Council] has underlined more clearly how all its
    members are called upon to participate in the work of Christ and
    therefore to participate also in His expiation", he wrote.

    The Ritual of Confession
    The
    Sacrament of Penance is a liturgical action instituted by the Church
    for the reconciliation of sinners to communion with God and with the
    Church. Catholics are obliged to go to confession to receive the
    sacrament of penance at least once a year -- usually during the Easter
    season (it used to be called "Easter duty") -- or whenever they are
    conscious of serious sin. Receiving this sacrament is encouraged at
    other times, as a means of restoring full unity with God and His
    Church, and for spiritual growth.

    The sacrament consists basically of four acts of the penitent and the priest:

    Contrition:
    First the penitent (the repentant sinner -- the root word in
    "penitentiary"), must be aware of his sinfulness and must be truly
    sorry (contrite) for his sins. Another word for repentance is
    "contrition". He must repent his sins, and seek the sacrament of
    penance -- that is, to go to confession to a priest.

    Confession:
    The penitent confesses to a priest all the sins he can recall -- after
    examining his conscience -- that he has not confessed before. The
    confession is entirely private -- the priest-confessor never reveals
    anything the penitent confesses. Traditionally confession takes place
    in the "confessional", a small room where the priest and penitent are
    separated by a screen to assure complete privacy and anonymity. It is
    also permissible, if both the priest and penitent agree, to administer
    and receive the sacrament of penance "face to face" in another room in
    the church reserved for this purpose. The sacrament can take place
    elsewhere, in an emergency.

    Act of Penance:
    The priest-confessor proposes certain actions -- penance -- for the
    penitent to perform. This may be saying certain prayers and/or
    performing some other fitting action. The person who performs this
    penance thus shows his sorrow for his sinful acts. This helps him to
    overcome his faults, and the harm his sins have caused others -- to be
    reconciled with them and with the Church, and to return to behavior
    consistent with being a disciple of Christ.

    Absolution:
    After the penitent accepts the acts of penance, the priest, by the
    authority that the Church has given him (see the quote from John 20:22,
    23 above), absolves the sinner; that is, he grants God's pardon for the
    sins.

    Structure of Confession/ Absolution Rite
    The
    normal practice for administration of the Sacrament of Penance is in
    private -- with only the penitent and the priest present. On occasion,
    as during penitential seasons, a parish may hold a "communal penance
    service", where the congregation may pray and reflect together with the
    priest before each person individually goes to confession. (Only in
    extreme cases of emergency, such as on a battlefield, may a priest give
    "general absolution" to all at the same time; and that with the
    stipulation that the individual penitents go to confession individually
    as soon as possible.)

    To
    begin, the penitent kneels and, by custom, says: "Forgive me, Father,
    for I have sinned", and may add, "It has been [time] since my last
    confession." The priest greets the penitent. Then crossing himself, the
    penitent says "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy
    Spirit" and begins his confession.

    The priest may help the penitent with an examination of conscience, perhaps by asking questions. During the confession, the priest may read scripture passages and offer spiritual counsel.
    After hearing the confession, the priest assigns a penance, and the penitent accepts the penance with the following prayer:

    Act of Contrition (click here for Spanish Version)
    O
    my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee, and I detest all
    my sins because of thy just punishment, but most of all because they
    offend Thee, my God, who art all-good and deserving of all my love. I
    firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to sin no more and to avoid
    the near occasion of sin. In the name of the Father, and of the Son,
    and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

    Actus contritionis (Latin)
    Deus meus, ex toto corde pænitet me ómnium meórum peccatórum, éaque
    detéstor, quia peccándo, non solum pœnas a te iuste statútas proméritus
    sum, sed præsértim quia offéndi te, summum bonum, ac dignum qui super
    ómnia diligáris. Ídeo fírmiter propóno, adiuvánte grátia tua, de cétero
    me non peccatúrum peccandíque occasiónes próximas fugitúrum. Amen.

    (See also Act of Contrition prayer card page.)
    The priest then extends his hands in blessing over the penitent, and prays the prayer of absolution:

    Prayer of Absolution
    God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of His Son
    has reconciled the world to Himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us
    for the forgiveness of sins;
    Through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace,
    and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
