II.Q.Which sins should people confess?

A.When speaking to God, we should plead guilty to all sins, even those we don’t know about, just as we do in the "Our Father," but when speaking to the confessor, only the sins we know about, which we know about and feel in our hearts.

Q.Which are these?

A.Consider here your place in life according to the Ten Commandments.Are you a father?A mother? A son? A daughter? A husband? A wife? A servant? Are you disobedient, unfaithful or lazy? Have you hurt anyone with your words or actions? Have you stolen, neglected your duty, let things go or injured someone?
