So you would like to receive the Holy Sacrament of Penance. You want Our Heavenly Father to Forgive you of all your sins. However, you do not know how to go about receiving this Sacrament.
Steps
Go to your local Catholic Church, and find out when the priest hears Confession.
Return to the Church at the specific time or times when the Confessions are being heard.Advertisement
If more than one person has come to have his/her Confession heard, wait in line.
Go into the Confessional and tell the priest all your sins.
Upon conclusion of your confession, the priest will kindly address you upon your faults, and then he will absolve all your sins.
The priest will then give you Penance(which usually takes the form of saying a few prayers).
Pray the Act of Contrition.
Go out into the Church to pray(the prayers recommended by the priest, or some other prayers, if he gave you a different kind of Penance).
All your sins are Forgiven By God.Advertisement

Expert Q&A
Tips
- The Sacrament of Confession is as Blessed a Sacrament as the Holy Eucharist.Thanks
- If some Christians try to tell you that going to Confession is not Biblical, direct them to the Gospel according to St. John chapter 20, verses 22 - 23.Thanks
Warnings
- When going to Confession, you must confess **ALL** your sins to the priest. It's alright if you honestly forgot a particular one, but, to intentionally omit a sin, especially a mortal sin, will not only prevent all the sins which you did confess from being Forgiven By God, but, it will only add on another mortal sin!!!Thanks
