A Pocket Guide to Reconciliation with God
How to make your Confessions less difficult and more fruitful
This slim volume:
- Includes a whopping 17-page examination of conscience--always opens my eyes and the list is written so as not to destroy the innocence of a teen while being clear to an adult (if you know what I mean)
- Details the three essential elements to a good confession
- Lists the steps of an ordinary confession (who says what when)
- Provides three Acts of Contrition you can carry with you into the confessional
And Father Kane shows you how -- before you ever enter the confessional -- you can awaken in yourself those attitudes of mind that will enable you to quickly identify your sins (particularly the hidden ones), grow truly sorry for them, and do your penance as God wants it done.
Better yet: he shows you how sustaining these attitudes in your soul between confessions will protect you from new sins and ward off the worry and discouragement that afflict us all.
Get Fr. Kane's help to confess well and avoid sin:
- One truth you must realize, or you'll never drive sin from your soul
- Two reasons why God forgives sin, but still punishes the sinner
- Three characteristics of the truly forgiven sinner: do you have them?
- Your past sins: startling ways they can help you love God more today
- True repentance and its counterfeits: three ways to find the genuine article
- How to tell whether you're sorry for your sins โ even if you don't feel sorry
- The embarrassment of going to Confession โ how it can actually help you imitate Christ!
- The heavy price of your sins: no, you probably don't realize it, and yes, it's worse than you think
- Why hating sin does not mean hating the sinner
- Why true saints will always consider themselves sinners
- Sorrow for sin: how it deepens your compassion for others
- How to take advantage of Lent each year to overcome your sins
- And much more that will help you get more spiritual fruit out of Confession than you may even have thought was possible!

from 5934 reviewsBeautiful and a life saver.
The images are beautiful and capture the events perfectly. The scripture verse references are useful for the bigger kids to look deeper. I have long been perplexed why anyone could be resistant to the True Presence, knowing that throughout the Gospels, what Jesus says, happens. This book brings that to life clearly.
A wonderful coloring book for my grandchildren!
Loved it!
It was a delightfully story
Beautiful coloring book, very high quality
Bought three coloring books for my grandchildren. Beautiful story. Large size pictures to color. Will help the children develop their Catholic faith.
I love Blessed Carlo Acutis. This will be a great gift for my godson.
It is a good fit for my phone. The edges will keep the screen from breaking. I like that a priest will be called in case of emergency. I love the picture of Our Lady Of Guadalupe.
I thought they were really nice! And having thestory in each page in both languages itโs great too. I handed them to my Church as we have bothEnglish and Spanish members and a Spanish Mass! Thank you.
Great book. Nice way to introduce young readers to this new Saint.
Got them for our parish Spanish teacher...the secretaries think they're awesome and are sure the teacher will love them.
Love it. Now anyone seeing this case, when Iโm in need, will have full knowledge. The case tells all viewing my devotion.
It tells his story well.
I purchased three of these books and gave them to my grand daughters. I want them to know about this young saint. He was quite amazing !!
I think this is an excellent book.
Have yet to read the book.
Thanks!
Havenโt had a chance to read it yet but itโs the perfect size and good quality
My son is making his first reconciliation this year so I bought this book so my husband and I could have a better grasp on how to make a good confession so we can better teach him.
Short and sweet, a very clear presentation, complete with scriptural references. Lays a foundation for the attitude to cultivate as well as providing the nuts and bolts of the elements of confession -- what to say in the confessional, as well probing questions toward making a good examination of conscience based on the Ten Commandments.
