It’s not uncommon to have to pray a portion of the Rosary for penance, but I find it’s the advice that the Traditional priest gives that is most beneficial. They are more likely to give good spiritual guidance that is based on faith and morals than a non-traditional priest. That’s been my experience, anyway.

Same here…the spiritual advice is greatly beneficial. I look forward to it.
 
They were going to make Ebonics an official language in the US, but Idaho absolutely refused to go along…

Ebonics was this alleged language based on inner city slang.

Here are some English/Ebonics translations:

How are you paramedicgirl?/What up boo?

I’m relaxing at home tonight./I’m chillin at the crib.

She’s very upset./Ol’ girl be trippin. (Trippin can also be used for excited).

I’m teaching you a lesson./I’m schoolin’ you.

Do you have my money sir?/You got my chips G?

I’m going out./I’m kickin’ it.

He is my friend./Ol’ boy’s my homey.

These are just some examples. I will be teaching Ebonics class Thursday evening. Be there because there are no refunds! 😃

Could somebody tell me what ICRSS stands for? I have never heard of it.😊

Amen sister!!! 😃

The penances aren’t usually harsh, that’s just a liberal delusion. But they’re not silly penances like ‘Say 1 Hail Mary’ for a whole load of mortal sins. A decade of the rosary, read scripture and meditate on the passion (or whatever the season is), or stations of the cross is usual.

But the best thing is the advice. The Novus Ordo priests I go to rarely say anything - makes you wonder if they’ve even been listening. But traditional priests always have something inspiring to say, especially when they have a lot of time and talk to you for 10 minutes (with regular mention of the evil one and how he will try to trick and tempt you).

I haven’t posted for ages. Isn’t it wonderful to have me back? 😃
 
A few weeks ago I went to confession at a parish that had FSSP priests. After I had confessed, the priest asked me to make an act of contrition. So, I started making the act of contrition when all of a sudden the priest started saying the prayer of absolution in Latin. I was a bit confused. Is one’s act of contrition supposed to be said at the same time the priest is absolving you?

That happened to me, too, so maybe that is the way they do it. Hey, at least the trad priests ask you to say an act of contrition. There are lots of Novus Ordo priests who don’t. I alway ask if I should say one. Sometimes they tell me just to say it afterwards. Makes me wonder…
 
Yes, in the traditional rite the act of contrition is frequently (though not always), recited while the priest is reciting the absolution in Latin. He generally reaches the words of absolution at the end of the prayer just as as the penitent finishes the act of contrition–in time for the sign of the cross and the “Amen.”

Yes, that’s what I was thinking. I think I finished just a few seconds before he absolved me. The act of contrition and the prayers of absolution go very well together.

Yes, this is pretty sad 😦

I went to confession at St. Francis De Sales in St. Louis once, probably a little over a year ago. It was probably the best experience I’ve had yet with the sacrament. It was in the old rite, but I understood exactly what was going on and being said. My penance was given in English and off I went to prepare to assist at Holy Mass. It is something you should try, at least once.

BTW, I am 27y/o and a convert from a very conservative Southern Baptist family, just for background.

The Act of Contrition absolutely isn’t a required part of Confession - personally I’d rather the priest spent time on the advice part and on getting around to everyone who wanted confession. The one priest I know who habitually leaves out the Act is the best at the other two for sure.

It might not be required, but I feel a lot better after having made it. Yes, I would like advice, but still…
