when someone does there confession what r they supose to say besides the bad things they done?

Answer 1

Before you start, you should examine your conscience. One way is to go over the Ten Commandments:
- Did I swear?
- Did I lie?
- Did I steal?

Enter the confessional.

Either kneel down behind a screen or sit in a chair facing the priest.

The priest might welcome you or read a Scripture or say a prayer.

Simply say, "Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. This is my first confession."

Then you say your sins. It's not necessary to give a long history unless the priest asks a question to clarify something.

The priest will then give you a "penance," usually some prayers to say or some action to perform.

Then you say a prayer of contrition. One example is:
O my God
I am sorry for my sins.
In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good,
I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend with your help to sin no more and to keep away from whatever leads me to sin.
Amen.

Then he will extend his hand to give you absolution.

When you get up, you will feel a tremendous burden lifted from you.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

I don't think it matters since a priest can't forgive you of your sins.
