The liturgy for Confession, also called “Reconciliation of the Penitent,” can be found in the Book of Common Prayer on pages 222-224. The sacramental practice of Confession begins with an examination of conscience, followed by confessing specific faults to God in the presence of a priest. The brief liturgy ends with the priest proclaiming the forgiveness that is promised to us (John 20:22-23). 

Through confession and absolution we are freed from the weight of unresolved sin and reconciled to Christ and his Church. Confessions are made in a safe place and with an understanding priest. The Book of Common Prayer states, “The secrecy of a confession is morally binding for the confessor and is not to be broken.”
