Product Description
This small booklet, printed in 1996 by the Catholic Bishop of Lincoln, Nebraska (USA) begins with the question "Does God love me?" and concludes that "God's love defies all human logic and reason." Indeed, God loves us enough to create us even knowing that we often turn away from His Love.
The next section discusses sin and its terrible impact in our lives. We have hope, however, because of Christ's atoning sacrifice. Personal, venial, mortal, and capital sins are defined and explanations given.
The basis of confession in the teachings of Christ's leads naturally into how to make a good confession, how frequently one should confess, and the grace received through acts of penance and contrition for sin.
The booklet also provides a thorough examination of conscience by reviewing the Ten Commandments and the Precepts of the Church and then describes how to go to confession. Several prayers for confession and other prayers round out this booklet.
The Little Catechism on Confession has received the imprimatur from Most Reverend Fabian W. Bruskewitz, Bishop of Lincoln, November 15, 1996.
