When you go to Confession you are not telling God something he doesn’t already know, and you're not showing him something he doesn’t already see. You are giving him something he doesn’t already have: your broken heart.
-Fr. Mike Schmitz

If you're nervous about confession or haven't been in a while, take a look at our resources on making a good confession.  Know that God loves you and wants to lift the burden of sin from you through this beautiful sacrament.

The Sacrament of Reconciliation can be a fearful experience for Catholics, especially if one has not been to confession in many years or has committed grave sin. The beauty of this sacrament is that God is always willing to welcome us back into his grace and protection. Satan wants us to hide our sin so we will not be free from them. But there is no sin that cannot be forgiven.

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

Jesus Christ had the authority to forgive sins on earth and he gave this authority to his apostles when he said, "As the Father has sent me, so I send you." "And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them receive the Holy Spirit whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained" (John 20:21-23.) "Only priests who have received the faculty of absolving from the authority of the Church can forgive sins in the name of Christ" (CCC 1495).
