Prepare your heart for Reconciliation and enter more deeply into this powerful sacrament

The Pocket Guide to the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a beautiful, prayerful book by Fr. Mike Schmitz and Fr. Josh Johnson which helps Catholics enter in to the Sacrament of Reconciliation more deeply.

They discuss why Catholics are called to Reconciliation, how to form a healthy conscience, and what to expect when walking into the confessional in order to lead Catholics to better understand and appreciate the beauty of this sacrament, ultimately inspiring them to seek the grace and forgiveness that Christ longs to bestow on them.

In this small but powerful book, Fr. Mike and Fr. Josh explain:

How to make an excellent examination of conscience
How to identify the root cause of sins you find yourself confessing over and over again
What to do if you don't feel sorry for your sins
What to do if you can't think of anything to say
What do to if you are afraid to confess a particular sin

Not only does this resource help readers better understand the opportunity for grace and peace found in the sacrament of Reconciliation, it is also perfect for bringing along every time you go!

With its small size and durable cover, it fits in most bags. It also contains an Examination of Conscience and the Act of Contrition for reference leading up to and during your experience of the sacrament.

See why Catholics everywhere are using this book to prepare for Reconciliation!
