Father Christopher-
If a person has not been to Confession in about 25 years what do you recommend? Books to read to prepare? Which would be the most guidance in Repentance and Penance?
Yes, this would be me. Long story, no excuses. Don't live near any Anglican Use Parishes.

Anonymous, there's no mystery about how to do it -- we simply need to make a good and complete examination of conscience, and if it's necessary, write it down so you don't forget anything. A valid confession requires that it be a complete confession -- in other words, we're not allowed to "conveniently forget" things.

There are several pretty good examinations of conscience on-line. Here's one: http://www.catholic-truth.info/misc/confprep.htm
It also has the form you use to make your confession.

Remember also -- the priest is there to help you. Let him know you haven't confessed in a long time, and I'm sure he'll give you assistance as you claim what God wants to give you: His mercy and forgiveness, and a new start!
