Catholic 101: The Act of Contrition Every Catholic MUST Memorize

About this sermon

On the 18th Sunday after Pentecost, we hear the Gospel of Our Lord healing the paralytic — and proving His divine authority to forgive sins. In this powerful and practical sermon, we return to Catholic 101 and revisit the basics of the Sacrament of Confession (Penance) — something many Catholics were never properly taught. Do you know: Who speaks first in confession? Whether you should repeat “Bless me Father”? When to say your penance? Why the Act of Contrition must be memorized? What makes a perfect act of contrition? In an age of widespread catechetical failure, we cannot assume Catholics know the fundamentals. This sermon clearly explains the proper form, disposition, and reverence required for a good confession — and why memorizing the Act of Contrition is part of your “Catholic driver’s license.” Most importantly, we are reminded that: Confession is a sacrament — not a casual conversation. True sorrow includes hatred of sin and firm purpose of amendment. Perfect contrition can obtain forgiveness of mortal sins when confession is unavailable. Daily repentance strengthens the soul like routine maintenance strengthens a car. If we claim to be Catholic, we must know the basic prayers and live the sacramental life seriously. 📿 “O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee…” Let this be renewed in your heart. 0:00 – Support Catholic Media (I Catholic Mobile) 0:34 – Introduction & Gospel: Healing of the Paralytic 1:21 – Catholic 101: The Sacrament of Penance 2:37 – Examination of Conscience 3:11 – How Confession Works at This Chapel 4:30 – Who Speaks First in Confession? 5:22 – When to Say Your Penance 5:44 – Why You MUST Memorize the Act of Contrition 7:39 – Your “Catholic Driver’s License” 8:32 – What Makes a Valid Confession 9:19 – Maintaining Dispositions of Soul 10:04 – Confession Is a Prescribed Ritual 10:38 – Practical Reason to Memorize the Prayer 11:13 – Perfect Contrition Explained 12:15 – Final Exhortation For more from this parish please visit https://institute-christ-king.org/oakland-sermons & please remember to say 3 Hail Marys for the priest #Catholic #Confession #CatholicFaith #CatholicHomily #TraditionalCatholic #ActOfContrition #SacramentOfPenance #ForgivenessOfSins #CatholicChurch #LatinMass #CatholicSermon #Repentance #CatholicTeaching 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Follow the Institute of Christ the King on...
