 What is contrition or sorrow for sin? | Contrition or sorrow for sin is a hatred of sin and a true grief of the soul for having offended God, with a firm purpose of sinning no more. |
| What kind of sorrow should we have for our sings? | The sorrow we should have for our sins should be interior, supernatural, universal and sovereign. |
| What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be interior? | When I say that our sorrow should be interior, I mean that it should come from the heart, and not merely from the lips. |
| What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be supernatural? | When I say that our sorrow should be supernatural, I mean that it should be prompted by the grace of God, and excited by the motives which spring from faith, and not merely natural motives. |
| What do you mean by saying that our sorrow should be universal? | When I say that our sorrow should be universal, I mean that we should be sorry for our mortal sins without exception. |
| What do you mean when you say that our sorrow should be sovereign? | When I say that our sorrow should be sovereign, I mean that we should grieve more for having offended God than for any other evil that can befall us. |
| Why should we be sorry for our sins? | We should be sorry for our sins because sin is the greatest of evils and an offense against God our Creator, Preserver and Redeemer, and because it shuts us out of Heaven and condemns us to the eternal pains of Hell. |
| How many kinds of contrition are there? | There are two kinds of contrition: perfect contrition and imperfect contrition. |
| What is perfect contrition? | Perfect contrition is that which fills us with sorrow and hatred for sin because it offends God, who is infinitely good in Himself and worthy of all love. |
| What is imperfect contrition? | Imperfect contrition is that by which we hate what offends God, who is infinitely good in himself and worthy of all love. |
| Is imperfect contrition sufficient for a worthy confession? | Imperfect contrition is sufficient for a worthy confession, but we should endeavor to have perfect contrition. |
| What do you mean by a firm purpose of sinning no more? | By a firm purpose of sinning no more I mean a fixed resolve not only to avoid all mortal sin, but also its near occasions. |
| What do you mean by the near occasions of sin? | By the near occasions of sin I mean all the persons, places and things that may easily lead us into sin. |
