Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confessions)
Confessions in English are available on Saturdays from 3 to 4 PM in Church / Reconciliation Rooms.
ESPAÑOL – Las Confesiones en Español son el 2do y 4to Sábado de cada mes de 3 a 4 PM en la Iglesia.
If you are still unable to come to Church for Reconciliation because of health vulnerabilities during this time of pandemic, the Church invites us to make an act of perfect contrition, that is, of sorrow for sin, which “arises from a love by which God is loved above all else.” An act of perfect contrition “obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, no. 1452). You can be assured that your sins are forgiven if you make an act of perfect contrition (using the Act of Contrition below) with a firm resolve to approach the Sacrament of Reconciliation when you are able.
ACT OF CONTRITION – Oh 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. Amen.
AN ACT OF PERFECT CONTRITION DISPOSES OUR SOUL FOR SPIRITUAL COMMUNION – My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You. AMEN! – CLICK HERE
