The sacrament consists of three actions on the penitent’s part: contrition (sorrow), confession (telling sins to the priest), and penance (satisfaction). The sacrament also consists of one action on the part of the priest: absolution. The words of absolution are God’s gift to sinners, assuring them of forgivness and reconciliation with God and the church.
