On Saturday I went to confession.
Pastor heard my sins, gave me my penance, but I did not hear the words of absolution. After administering my penance he simply took the sign of the cross and said “Go in peace. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit” And I walked out of the confessional not sure whether or not I was absolved since I don’t think I heard the words of absolution.

Should I confess my sins again? Have I been absolved?
 
Hi,

If he did not say the words of absolution, you did not receive absolution. I suggest that you go to another pries and confess your sins again.

Fr. Vincent Serpa, O.P.
