Publisher's Synopsis
More than a just a guide to help you prepare for confession, Father O'Connell helps unmask deep attitudes that lie at the root of our sins. With Making a Better Confession: A Deeper Examination of Conscience, you will learn to ask the right questions to begin the process of self-discovery and reconciliation--the process of making better, more satisfying confessions and daily Ignatian spiritual exercises.
Here is a sample of the questions that will help you examine your relationship with God, others and yourself:
- Am I faithful to daily prayer?
- How is my relationship with God?
- How is my relationship to those close to me?
- Do I respect others? Am I patient?
- Am I often angry?
- Am I unwilling or afraid to say Yes to God?
Father O'Connell does not stop with these questions but challenges us to answer the big question, "Why?" As we cooperate with the Holy Spirit in uncovering the causes of our sinful self-centeredness, we truly prepare ourselves to make a better reconciliation.
