SKU: JM4002CD       |     2 CDs How many?  In this series you will hear Jesse Romero, Catholic Lay Evangelist, give you a step by step explanation of how to prepare and make a good sacramental confession. He will lay out the 5 necessary steps: 1) Examination of conscience, 2) Contrition, 3) Confession, 4) Penance or Satisfaction, 5) Absolution - and then give you the biblical basis for each step along with the citations from the Catechism to provide further clarification. We all have been in the confessional any number of times, and have focused out attention on what we will confess, but we may have never stopped and thought about our preparation for the sacrament before we enter the Church. Jesse looks at the sacrament of Confession from the perspective of the penitent and the perspective of the priest. Jesse then lays out, in point-by-point order, a clear explanation of the biblical evidence for this holy Sacrament of God's Mercy. Then, Jesse looks at why it is critical to recognize our sins as well as what the early Church fathers and apostles wrote about confession of sins. Then, he completes the study with a review of the biblical teaching on confession from both the Old and New Testament. Find out why the only thing the devil fears is a ‘humble’ person and how this sacrament immerses you in humility. Jesse then explains why we must all have the disposition of St Dominic Savio who exclaimed to his peers: “Death before Sin”, and why our confessions must be from the heart in order to be forgiven and we must “bear good fruit” as evidence of repentance (Luke 3:8). This is straight talk, no spin Catholicism. You will also learn: • Why we confess our sins to a Priest. • The categories of sin (mortal and venial) from scripture. • Why we should confess our venial sins daily. • Why both testaments use priests to mediate God’s forgiveness. • What behaviors and words to focus on in the Confessional. • Why penance is critical in completing one's confession. • At one point God's mercies are poured during the Confession. • What 2 motivations are guaranteed to drive one to Confession.
