An excellent list! With your permission, I'd like to share it with my Confirmation students. Our classes are over, but I'll e-mail it to them. I'd talked about Penance during several of the classes, and we even talked about Examination of Conscience.
The guide you've written is quite relevant to where folks are nowadays, and I know I can see myself in some of those statements. I'll print it out and study it before MY next confession!

You are very welcome to use it. There are a number of examination-of-conscience sites out there which reference the Ten Commandments ---- I put the links in there ---- but I thought it would be a good idea to go into detail on the Seven Deadlies, since they deal with habitual dispositions: ugly "shoes that fit" most evrybody in one way or another.
Yeah, I find it quite an indictment against my own moral uglies :o/ ... I never run out of "what to say" ... :o?

Excellent post in every way! Thank you!
As confession is not initially easy (as you noted), I once thought of taking a train into Chicago to confess at
St. Peter's. They have confession MondayFriday from 7:30 a.m.6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 12 noon 4:30 p.m., and every time I've been there (easy-peasy to get there by train and short walk), there have been people in the confessional and praying in the pews.
Also, I received this short video just yesterday via email on the subject of confession.
The young man in the video is a seminarian.

I’m so happy I found this. As I write this I am preparing for my first confession tonight. God bless, and I hope to find more of your content around!

Thank you! Cool video! I’m going to put that on our parish RCIA Facebook page.

Wow! Talk about falling into the lap of grace!
When our sons were little boys, after they took a bath we'd say "How'd it go?" and the stock answer was, "I'm all shiny and sparkly!"
So how'd your First Confession go?

And just think, next time you can probably get in the Express Lane: 8 sins and under....! :o)

Thank You, I’m very nervous...
To: jaydubya2
Nervous? Good. That means you’re taking it as seriously as it needs to be taken.
Right now you’re probably halfway between Kyrie Eleison and Alleluia.

I am 60 years old and making my first confession and feel a bit overwhelmed. Your post helped me get my mind in order.
