In this episode I talk about the conversion of St. Ignatius of Loyola, together with how he did his confession and penance. I discuss the “acts of the penitent” (contrition, confession, and satisfaction [or reparation]), the acts of the priest (hearing the confession and the sacramental absolution), and I suggest some tips to do a good confession.
