XI. The Celebration of the Sacrament of Penance
1480
Like all the sacraments, Penance is a liturgical action. the elements of the
celebration are ordinarily these: a greeting and blessing from the priest,
reading the word of God to illuminate the conscience and elicit contrition, and
an exhortation to repentance; the confession, which acknowledges sins and makes
them known to the priest; the imposition and acceptance of a penance; the
priest’s absolution; a prayer of thanksgiving and praise and dismissal with the
blessing of the priest.
