Confession: Examination of Conscience

[catholic03]

Pax Christi:

I am wondering if anybody knows of a detailed, comprehensive examination of conscience. Preferably over 20 pages long. I would like a long ‘how to confession’ guide to help me further reflect on this beautiful sacrament.

Sincerely Yours in Christ and His Most Blessed Mother

This is pretty thorough. Anything more in depth might be bordering on scrupulosity and best done under the guidance of a good, regular confessor.

What Powerandglory posted is pretty much the gold standard. A 20-page catalogue of every conceivable sin doesn’t and IMO shouldn’t exist, as it would terrify the scrupulous by giving a menu of things to worry about and give a sort of license to the lax, by implying if it isn’t on the list it’s not a possible sin.

I’ve found that two pages is plenty for me!
