A Scriptural Guide to Confession
If you've ever wondered why Catholics go to confession, why they don't just "go to God directly," what the benefits of confession are, where confession is in the Bible, how to go to confession, etc., you're not alone! People throughout the ages have asked questions like these! Even people of Jesus' time marveled at how he chose to forgive sins.
This guide is meant to be an introduction to the Sacrament of Penance (also called "Confession" or "Reconciliation" for those who may be slightly familiar with it but who want a better understanding of what this sacrament is or a practical guide on how to go to confession. This guide is scriptural, with an intended focus on the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke), although other sources are used as well.
