Holy week and Confession schedule at St Michael Penampang, Sabah for Lent 2015.
Why Catholics have to go confession during Lent season? We are all sinners, whoever saying he or she is without sins is a liar.
The act, which reflect repentance, is also an occasion to demonstrate trust in God's willingness to forgive His Children and to help them back on the path of following Jesus, said Pope Francis.
Below are the questions to reflect prior to making confession:
- Do I turn to God only when I’m in need?
- Do I attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation?
- Do I begin and end the day with prayer?
- Am I embarrassed to show that I am a Christian?
- Do I rebel against God’s plan?
- Am I envious, hot-tempered, biased?
- Am I honest and fair with everyone, or do I fuel the “throwaway culture?”
- In my marital and family relations, do I uphold morality as taught in the Gospels?
- Do I honor and respect my parents?
- Have I refused newly conceived life? Have I snuffed out the gift of life? Have I helped do so?
- Do I respect the environment?
- Am I part worldly and part believer?
- Do I overdo it with eating, drinking, smoking, and amusements?
- Am I overly concerned about my physical well-being, my possessions?
- How do I use my time? Am I lazy?
- Do I want to be served?
- Do I dream of revenge, hold grudges?
- Am I meek, humble, and a builder of peace?
- It is difficult to confess own fault in front of others, but do believe the strength to admit them is the beginning of another better life.
