1.  Confess your sins to God -- Using the examination of conscience guide on Section 10.1, write down your sins on the guide so you don't miss any. Make certain that you confess all of your mortal sins, and the number of each. You can easily estimate the number of sins committed by determining the number of times the sin was committed per month multiplied by the number of months, and then multiplied by the number of years (if needed). After your confession, recite the Act of Contrition prayer (below).

2.  Have perfect contrition for your sins (as opposed to imperfect contrition). Perfect contrition is when you are sorry for your sins because they offend God while imperfect contrition is when you are sorry for your sins because of the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell. If you do not have perfect contrition pray to the Blessed Virgin for this grace.

3.  Have the intention of going to Sacramental Confession when/if it becomes available again.

Numbers 1, 2, and 3 above -- Places your soul back into a state of grace and reconciles you to God.

4.  Do works of charity worthy of penance. Catholic St. Luke in Acts 26:20 > "Turn to God, doing works worthy of penance" (See Section 29 of this website). We have to make satisfaction for mortal sins which are forgiven and for venial sins commited by works of charity or suffering in this world or by suffering in Purgatory (Section 80 of the website).

5.  Pray daily for the strength to avoid sins and the near occasions of sin. Have a firm purpose of amendment, to not commit the same sins again. A firm purpose of amendment is necessary for the confession to be valid.

The Catholic God does not command impossibilities, so ...

... it was taught by Dogma three times at the Council of Trent, once in the Fourteenth Session and twice in the Sixth Session of what we are to do when confession is not available:

Council of Trent, Session 14, Chapter 4, On Contrition, 1551 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma > "It sometimes happens that this contrition is perfect through charity, and reconciles man with God before this sacrament be actually received, the said reconciliation, nevertheless, is not to be ascribed to that contrition, independently of the desire of the sacrament which is included therein."

Council of Trent, Session 6, Chapter 14, on Justification, 1547 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma > "Hence it must be taught that the repentance of a Christian after his fall is very different from that at his baptism, and that it includes not only a cessation from sins ... but also the sacramental confession of the same, at least in desire and to be made in its season ..."

Council of Trent, Session 6, Chapter 14, on Justification, 1547 A.D. -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma > " ... Sacerdotal absolution, as well as satisfaction by fasting, almsgiving, prayers, and other devout exercises of the spiritual life, not indeed for the eternal punishment, which is remitted together with the guilt either by the sacrament or the desire of the sacrament, but for the temporal punishment."

Note 1: God is stating here to not run off to non-Catholic / non-jurisdictional entities ("Vatican-2", "sspx", "sspv", "Thuc line", "cmri", etc.) for "confession" which will not obtain for you absolution of your sins. Doing this also causes your excommunication for violation of the Catholic Dogma on jurisdiction and governance.

Note 2: The three above citations from the Council of Trent do not and can not imply that there is such a thing as "baptism of desire" (there isn't). See Section 7.2 for the Water Baptism Dogma which specifically rules out the heresies of "baptism of desire" and "baptism of blood".

Pope Boniface VIII, Unam Sanctam, 18 Nov 1302 -- Ex-Cathedra Dogma >
"With Faith urging us we are forced to believe and to hold the one, holy, Catholic Church and that, apostolic, and we firmly believe and simply confess this Church outside of which there is no salvation nor remission of sin, the Spouse in the Canticle proclaiming: ‘One is my dove, my perfect one'."

Catholic De Fide Dogma, Section XII: Penance, Dogma 1 >
"The Church has received from Christ the power of remitting sins committed after Baptism."

Note: This De Fide Dogma states that Jesus Christ gave the power to remit sins committed after baptism to the Catholic Church. This power (remitting sins committed after Baptism) has not been given to the Vatican-2 cult which took over our Catholic properties in 1965. The Vatican-2 heretical sect was not started by Christ, and for that reason, it cannot possibly have the power of remitting sins committed after baptism.

1.1.  The currently non-Catholic eastern rite Byzantine, since they are part of the Vatican-2 jew-heretic cult, have no power to absolve sins.

1.2.  The currently non-Catholic eastern rite Ukrainian, since they are part of the Vatican-2 jew-heretic cult, have no power to absolve sins.

1.3.  The currently non-Catholic other eastern rites in the world since they are part of the Vatican-2 jew-heretic cult, have no power to absolve sins.

1.4.  The heretic/schismatic Greek or Russian "orthodox" since they left the Catholic Church in the year 1054 A.D.

2.  The group leaders of the "sspx" heretic cult have no power to absolve sins. They are all automatically excommunicated for heresy against the Catholic Dogma on jurisdiction and governance. They are also in the "baptism of desire" / "baptism of blood" heresy which also causes their automatic excommunication.

3.  The group leaders of the "sspv" heretic cult have no power to absolve sins. They are all automatically excommunicated for heresy against the Catholic Dogma on jurisdiction and governance. They are also in the "baptism of desire" / "baptism of blood" heresy which also causes their automatic excommunication.

4.  Other groups with Catholic looking liturgies like the "cmri", "Thuc line", other "independents" have no power to absolve sins.

2.  For those who are still physical participants of the Vatican-2 jew-heretic cult, before your confession you must re-enter the Catholic Church since there is no forgiveness of sins outside of the Catholic Church. The Church has taught throughout the centuries that to re-enter the Catholic Church after falling into heresy or after physical participation in a heretical society (such as Vatican-2) you must make a Formal Abjuration followed by a Profession of Faith. See Section 19.1 of this website.

3.  Following your Abjuration and Profession of Faith make your confession of sins. Section 19.1 of this website which has both an Abjuration for exiting the Vatican-2 cult and a Profession of Faith. See the ms-word file, or if you don't have ms-word you can printout Section 19.1.

4.  Non-Vatican-2 heretics ("lutheran", "baptist", "evangelical", "methodist", etc.) you must first enter the Catholic Church (which has no buildings at this time) for you confession of sins to be of merit. Simply follow the steps on Section 2.1 of this site ... modify the Formal Abjuration on Section 19.1 for the specific heresy that you are in and Abjure before witnesses.

Note: We deleted the phrase “because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell” in the usual form people are familiar with ... because it leads to an imperfect contrition. A perfect contrition is when you are sorry for sins because they offend God. An imperfect contrition (sorrow for sin because of the loss of Heaven and the pains of Hell) can only bring you to a state of grace when Sacramental Confession is available, which it isn’t in these times.
