When was my last good confession? Did I receive Communion or other sacraments while in the state of mortal sin? Did I intentionally fail to confess some mortal sin in my previous confession?
Did I willfully and seriously doubt my faith, or put myself in danger of losing it by reading literature hostile to Christian teaching or by getting involved with non-Christian sects? Did I engage in superstitious activities, such as palm-reading, and fortune-telling?
Did I take the name of God in vain? Did I curse or take a false oath? Did I use bad language?
Did I miss church on Sunday or a holy day of obligation through my own fault, without any serious reason? Did I fast and abstain on the prescribed days?
Did I disobey my parents or lawful superiors in important matters?
Was I selfish in how I treated others, especially my spouse, my brothers and sisters, my relatives, or my friends? Did I hatefully quarrel with anyone or desire revenge? Did I refuse to forgive? Did I cause physical injury or death? Did I get drunk? Did I take illicit drugs? Did I consent to advise someone about, or actively take part in an abortion?
Did I willfully look at indecent pictures or watch immoral movies? Did I read immoral books or magazines? Did I engage in impure jokes or conversations? Did I willfully entertain impure thoughts or feelings? Did I commit impure acts, alone or with others?
Did I steal or damage another’s property? How much was it worth? Have I made reparation for the damages done? Have I been honest in my business relations?
Did I tell lies? Did I sin by slander? By detraction—telling unknown grave faults of others without necessity? Did I judge others rashly in serious matters? Have I tried to make restitution for any damage of reputation that I have caused
If you remember other serious sins beside those indicated here, include them also in your confession
