How To Go To Confession

Here is a short video from HowTo.com explaining what is Confession, and how to confess. In short:

  • It's about reconciliation with God;
  • Prepare you Confession with an examination of conscience;
  • Find out when to go to confession (every day from half an hour before Mass in your case);
  • Go to the confessional, say your sins;
  • Receive an imposed penance and the absolution;
  • Do your penance;
  • Celebrate your being forgiven!

In order to receive the Sacrament of Penance in Amsterdam outside of Mass times, please contact the chaplain.

Penance consists in putting up good-humouredly with the thousand and one little pinpricks of each day; in not abandoning your job, although you have momentarily lost the enthusiasm with which you started it; in eating gladly whatever is served, without being fussy.

St. Josemaría Escrivá

Be brave and try to detach your heart from worldly things. Do your utmost to banish darkness from your mind and come to understand what true, selfless piety is. Through confession, endeavor to purify your heart of anything which may still taint it. Enliven your faith, which is essential to understand and achieve piety.
St. John Bosco

The fruit of silence is prayer,
The fruit of prayer is faith,
The fruit of faith is love,
The fruit of love is service,
The fruit of service is peace.
St. Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Her Essential Wisdom.

Just as children begin to speak their mother's language because they continue to listen and talk to her, so we must remain with the Savior, pondering His words, actions, and desires, and then, with the help of grace, we will soon learn to speak, desire, and act like Him.
St. Francis de Sales, Introduction to the Devout Life.

Don't let your life be barren. Be useful. Make yourself felt. Shine forth with the torch of your faith and your love.
St. Josemaria Escrivá, The Way, n. 1.
