• To prepare for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, ask the Holy Spirit to help you think about these questions:

  • Do I show my love for God by praying every day?
  • Do I use bad language?
  • Do I sometimes wish bad things on others?
  • Have I missed Mass on Sundays or Holy Days of Obligation?
  • Do I misbehave in church, or not pay attention at Mass?
  • Did I keep the Eucharistic Fast before receiving Communion?
  • Did I receive Communion without first confessing serious sin?
  • Do I respect my parents, teachers, and elders?
  • Do I fight with my family members or friends?
  • Am I rude, stubborn, always wanting to have my own way?
  • Do I forgive others when they hurt me, or do I hold a grudge?
  • Am I helpful to others in need?
  • Have I told lies?
  • Do I cheat in schoolwork or games?
  • Do I show off, or treat others badly?
  • Do I share, or am I selfish?
  • Do I complain about my chores or other things I should do?
  • Am I jealous of others?
  • Do I get angry or violent?
  • Do I talk "behind another's back?"
