Confession

The main purpose of all fasts is the reunification with God, from whom we have been separated by our sins. We fast, abstain and pray with greater fervor in order to, with God's help, create in ourselves a spiritual condition which is conducive to genuine, contrite repentance. Having prepared ourselves through the effort of fasting, we come to confession. Yet the mere fact that we came to confession does not guarantee us automatic cleansing from our sins.

Complete cleansing requires complete and correct repentance. It is with these facts in mind that we offer the following exhortation on confession. Before confession one should attempt to recall all the sins which one has committed voluntarily or involuntarily.

One must attentively re-examine one's life in order to recall not only those sins committed since the last confession, but also those which have not been confessed through forgetfulness. Then, with compunction and a contrite heart, approach the Cross and the Gospel and begin the confession of your sins.
