Remember in your prayers: Dudley Hurst, Frank Boniewski, Pete Roberts, Mary Sexton, Archbishop Kurtz, Helen Lucas, Jo Ellen’s mom, Mary Ellen, Lonnie Howard, Katie Kon, and Mary Beth Norris.

Also remember in your prayers the homebound, those in nursing homes, those who have no one to pray for them,
those in prisons, physical or mental, for priests who speak the truth from the pulpit and for those who don’t,
and those who have unspoken prayer requests.

*Father Michael's "Penny Catechism" (A fun and informative little morsel of Catholic teaching and trivia)*

(Last week’s question along with the answer:)
Question #168: During the sacrament of penance, (confession) the penitent offers an "act of contrition." What is contrition?
Answer: The Catechism defines it this way: Contrition is "sorrow of the soul and detestation for the sin committed, together with the resolution not to sin again." (CCC 1451)
When it arises from a love by which God is loved above all else, contrition is called "perfect" (contrition of charity). Such contrition remits venial sins; it also obtains forgiveness of mortal sins if it includes the firm resolution to have recourse to sacramental confession as soon as possible. (CCC 1452)
Question #169: What is general absolution?
(The answer will appear in next week’s page along with a new question)
