Catholic Reconciliation!
There's not much mystery to Catholic Reconciliation once you understand the basics of the sacrament of Catholic Penance!
Penance is the sacrament. Confession is the telling. It is that simple. St. Anne's Helper Audio Catechism teaches the text of a good Confession and the doctrine necessary to know how to make a good confession! "Bless me Father for I have sinned..." on Audio Download or CD makes the memorization review that much easier! Catechists, parents and converts are grateful to have these downloads to make learning the truths of the Catholic Faith easier to learn. The St. Anne's Helper First Communion Catechism (Vol. 1) teaches the Catholic Ten Commandments as an examination of conscience, reminding us what we should and should not do for each Commandment of God. The printable text is included in the Download or CD versions. The first several years of Catholic Religious Education (CCD) are covered in this audio and textual version of the Catholic Catechism! Order the Download here or the CD here. Catholic Confession is a subset of the sacrament of Catholic Penance! The word Confession has come to mean the whole sacrament because a penitent will say "I'm going to Confession." The terms have become interchangeable. These definitions are in good Catholic books for adults like The Catechism Explained , Catechism of the Council of Trent , and This is the Faith (on Catholic audiobook CD as well) by Tan Books.
First Reconciliation - Catholic Reconciliation For Children!For those using any Catholic catechism for children or more specifically, the New St. Joseph First Communion Catechism or the Baltimore Catechism, St. Anne's Helper offers plenty of review! Another Catholic catechism for children that teaches about First Reconciliation that we have found is Jesus Comes by Neumann Press. It is also a super condensed version for adults to use as review or "Cliff Notes"! It teaches that in order to "receive the Sacrament of Penance worthily I must:
1. Examine my conscience. After that you simply do the penance the priest gives you and thank God for forgiving your sins. Thank God indeed! The greater sorrow one has for his past sins the greater his joy after absolution because he receives greater graces! (Catechism of Pope St. Pius X) A good Catholic booklet on the sacrament of Confession that teaches this truth well is Confession: Its Fruitful Practice by Tan Books. It also has an excellent Examination of Conscience. We heard one good priest quote St. Alphonsus Liguori as saying that the reason a Catholic penance is usually not more than a Rosary is that God wants us to hate the sin not the penance! What a consoling thought about Cathollic Reconciliation. What Is Sin?Sin is disobedience to God's law. This is why learning the Catholic Ten Commandments is so important in preparing for Catholic Reconciliation, or Catholic Penance. Most catechisms based on the Catechism of the Council of Trent and the Baltimore Catechism, like The Catechism Explained and Jesus Comes, teach what God's Law tells (commands) and forbids.Catholic Reconciliation Audiobook!Looking for an audiobook presentation of the basic Catholic beliefs about Catholic Reconciliation? St. Anne's Helper has Audio Catechism (CDs and Downloads) so you can simply review or use "repeat one" for memorization tutorial help. The First Communion Audio Catechism has the basics for Catholic Baptism , Catholic Penance, and Catholic Eucharist. The Confirmation Audio Catechism has more about Catholic Confirmation and the Blessed Trinity. They both have the Catholic Prayers (like the Apostles' Creed, Our Father Prayer, Prayers of the Rosary, etc.), Catholic Ten Commandments, and the general questions about the Catholic Sacraments.

Catholic homeschool copywork sheets make excellent penmanship practice sheets, too! Roman Catholic Advent Season
Since the Roman Catholic Advent Season
is a time of preparation for Our Lord's coming at Christmas many Catholics use the sacrament of Catholic Penance (Catholic Reconciliation) to make their confession. According to the Douay-Rheims Bible St. John the Baptist "came into all the country... preaching the baptism of penance for the remission of sins.... A voice of one crying in the wilderness: Prepare ye the way of the Lord" (Fourth Sunday of Advent - Luke 3:3-4). Jesus Himself says in Luke 13:5 "No, I say to you; but except you do penance, you shall all likewise perish." What better preparation, than to follow Jesus' Own advice to do penance while preparing for Christmas? True Catholic reconciliation requires penance as well as repentance!
Catholic LentWhat is Lent?
The forty days of Lent is the penetential season of preparation for the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ on Easter Sunday. The season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. This time we imitate Jesus Himself as He prepared for 40 days for His Passion and Death. If Our Lord Jesus Christ prayed and did penance for so long for our sakes, just think what penance we must need to do. Jesus Is the Example to follow when trying to follow a Catholic Lent! Also, it is said that the more holy the Advent you have, the better your Lent will be. The more holy your Lent, the more you will rejoice on Easter Sunday! The Catholic Church requires that one receive Catholic Penance (Catholic Reconciliation) at least once a year. Since she also requires that one receive Holy Communion at the Easter Time most Catholics also go to confession so as to be better prepared to receive Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
