Many Catholics today struggle with how to properly confess their sins. In recent times—especially following the cultural and liturgical upheaval of the past fifty years—Confession has often taken on a more therapeutic and conversational tone, and many of the sacrament’s essential elements have been forgotten.

In this video, four priests of our abbey offer clear, honest guidance rooted in the Church’s tradition. Drawing from years of experience hearing confessions, they explain how to prepare, what to say, and how to approach the sacrament with humility, confidence, and trust in God’s mercy.
