Stop Going to Confession Like This. (St. Catherine of Siena Explains Why)

from AfterMass · host Ana Munley

Book mentioned: https://amzn.to/41PuVECMost of us Catholics go to confession the same way every time and never stop to ask why nothing is actually changing.In this video, we walk through what Catherine of Siena teaches about how to prepare for confession in a way that actually leads to real contrition, not just saying your sins and moving on.This isn’t about whether confession “works” because the sacrament always works.. but the way you approach it shapes how deeply it changes you.If you’ve ever felt stuck, like you’re repeating the same cycle over and over, this is probably the part no one ever explained to you.This teaching comes from The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena, and it lines up directly with what the Church has always taught about repentance, contrition, and the interior life.
