Take one quiet breath. A grown-up can read the Gospel aloud, or your family can listen together.
Scripture opens on Bible.com or USCCB. USCCB audio includes the full Mass readings with an adult reader and adds listening time.Jesus meets us in our day
Read this short reflection aloud as a family, then give everyone a turn to share.A little help for grown-ups
For little ones: ask them to name or point to one thing they noticed. For older children: ask “What could this look like at school or at home?” There is no quiz to pass. Read the Gospel first; these simple family thoughts are devotional encouragement, not Scripture quotations.
Jesus, stay close to our family.
Together: “Help us share Your love today. Amen.”

Mercy, truth and a new beginning
Prepare Your Heart for Confession
Prayerful preparation for examining your conscience and receiving the Sacrament of Confession.
Start with the short guide
A brief Ten Commandments guide is a gentle place to begin. Choose the full examination whenever you’d like more detail. Your marked items stay in the same private list.
Find confession times nearby
Find up to six nearby Catholic parishes, including churches whose names do not say “Catholic.” The search widens the area when needed; official parish or diocesan sources are used to verify affiliation.
Your location will not be saved by Be with Him. Used only for this search. Location is optional: rounded coordinates are sent to OpenAI to find nearby parishes. No background tracking. You can enter a city or ZIP code instead.
Saved confession times
Saved privately in this app on this device, so no member login is needed. Schedules can change; confirm with the parish before you go.
This is not a test you can fail.
Ask the Holy Spirit for light, be honest without becoming afraid, and remember that God’s mercy is greater than every sin.
Adult examination
Where have I needed God’s grace?
Reflect on your life since your last confession—your thoughts, words, actions, and what you may have failed to do.
Complete original · Adult
Father Robert Altier
The full examination is included in the checkboxes below. Choose Father Altier only to read every original item in order. In combined guides, overlapping items share a checkbox with related wording available beneath it.
Read Father Altier’s full examination (PDF)By Fr. Robert Altier · © 2001 · Hosted by Divine Mercy
The author’s original categories are not a verdict on your personal responsibility. Depression, unwanted thoughts, and abuse suffered are not sins. Ask a priest about anything you are unsure of.
A checked box means: “Yes, I want to confess this.” Check only questions you answer yes to. Checked questions become “I have…” statements in your private list; original source items keep their wording. Leave it unchecked if it does not apply. If you are unsure, ask the priest. You can describe what happened in your own words.
Private on this device. Your marked questions stay only in this open page. They are not saved to your account, sent to the administrator, or included in analytics or the Google tracker. Clear them when finished; refreshing also clears them. Opening this section may still count as general app usage.
These categories help you reflect on your whole life. The body is God’s good creation; it is not itself sinful.
Before you begin: choice, conscience & mercy
Unwanted thoughts, feelings, or temptations are not the same as freely choosing them. Mortal sin requires grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. Fear, coercion, and other factors can affect responsibility. This guide cannot judge your soul or replace a priest.
Reflect on what you freely chose. Being abused is not your sin. If repeated checking leaves you more distressed, pause and ask a trusted priest for guidance instead of trying to obtain perfect certainty from a checklist.
Jesus loves you. If someone hurts you or makes you feel unsafe, it is not your fault. Tell a trusted adult who can help.
When you’re finished, tap “Ready to confess” below. You’ll see your private list and the steps for confession, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Original reflection questions informed by the USCCB’s examinations of conscience, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and the existing guide’s Bulldog Catholic resource. Specific references appear beneath each topic. Mind, body, and soul are browsing categories for the whole person, consistent with Catechism 362–365. This app is a preparation aid, not an official Church examination or a substitute for sacramental confession.
Confession is a meeting with Christ’s mercy.
You do not need perfect words. If you feel nervous or forget what to do, tell the priest and ask him to guide you.
A simple Catholic guide
How to Go to Confession
Pray and examine your conscience
Ask the Holy Spirit for honesty, sorrow and trust in God’s mercy. Review your life since your last confession.
Begin simply
Make the Sign of the Cross and say, “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned. It has been ___ since my last confession.”
Confess your sins honestly
Name your sins clearly. For grave sins, include the kind and number as best you can. If you are unsure, ask the priest for help.
Receive counsel and a penance
Listen to the priest’s guidance and accept the penance he gives you.
Make an Act of Contrition
Express sorrow, trust in God’s grace, and your intention to turn away from sin.
Receive absolution and complete your penance
Listen prayerfully to the words of absolution. Afterward, do your penance as soon as reasonably possible and thank God.
My private confession list
In the examination, check only questions you answer yes to and want to bring to confession. Your selected items will appear here, grouped to help you prepare, until you clear or reload the page.
What is most important to confess?
Bring any mortal sins you are aware of to confession. Mortal sin requires all three: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent. The app cannot determine your knowledge, freedom, or personal responsibility.
This list uses Father Altier’s categories where the wording is clear. Mixed or uncertain items go under “Unsure.” Venial sins are also good to confess; imperfections are not sins. Depression, unwanted thoughts, and abuse suffered are not sins. Ask the priest for help rather than trying to reach perfect certainty with a checklist.
Catechism 1857–1862: mortal and venial sin · Catechism 1456–1458: what to confess
The headings guide your preparation; they do not determine whether you committed a mortal sin.
Use these statements as reminders and describe your choices in your own words. You can also confess something that is not on this list.
A simple Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart.
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 do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.
This guide follows the Church’s teaching on contrition, confession and satisfaction. It helps you prepare but does not determine personal culpability or replace the guidance of a priest.

A prayer space by Called to Gather
A little room for God.
Be with Him grew from a simple hope: to make it a little easier to pause, pray, and draw near to Jesus in the middle of everyday life.
Created by Danica, a Catholic mom and homeschool parent, this space is especially close to the daily lives of busy moms and families: interrupted mornings, full afternoons, and moments when we need help finding the words. Everyone seeking a little room for Jesus is welcome.
You are welcome here as you are. Begin with today’s prayer, bring an intention, or take a quiet moment with the Gospel. No account is needed to pray.
Part of Called to Gather
Called to Gather celebrates faith, family, and the ordinary moments that bring us together. Be with Him is a place to nurture the prayer at the heart of that life.
