Break 2

What is penance in the confessional?

Check out this encore show from October 8, 2024 

Father John LoCoco joins Patrick to discuss Making a Good Confession
Are all confessions created equal?
(7:42) How often should we go to confession?
How to avoid scrupulosity in confession?
John -Reflecting on apostles...I believe confessions started when apostles were with the Lord.
Nick - One of the great ways to say we're sorry is to ask the Lord to give us the grace to see us as we are. I came from a generation where it was hard to say I'm sorry. Confession is so good to have because it makes our communions enriched.  Need to be conscious of our sins.

(19:38) Break 1
How do you make a good examination of Conscience?
(26:52) Amelina - When we go to confession and confess our sins...how do we end it?  Do we say this is it or just stay quiet?
Mike - What is seeking confession from Jesus vs. going to confession.  I'm a new Catholic. Why do we need to go to a priest?
Mary Lou - Psychological aspects of confession. Studied this as a psychotherapist. Dr. Jordan Pierson talks about many who come to him need to get something off their chest. Once they're able to say that, they become more happy and healthy. Confession is a good 'ancient' example of that. Better psychological state.

(39:03) Break 2
Gemma - After confessing sins, priest gives me guidance. I felt the need to ask a question about it, but felt bad about it, so I didn't.
(42:47) What is penance in the confessional?
Susie - Came back to church after 49 years. I am homebound, so priest comes to my house to hear confession once a month. I know that I'm absolved, but I have a problem with forgiving myself.  How do I do that?
Dave - New Catholic. Been to confession, but one sin I've had in my life and don't want to do it again, but don't feel bad about it. I don't know how to put it out there.
