Father Petri’s Tips for Swift Confessions
Dominican Father Thomas Petri advises on efficient confessions at St. Louis Bertrand Catholic Church in Louisville, Kentucky. He recommends keeping sessions brief, around two to three minutes, and focusing on clear enumeration of sins without unnecessary details or backstories. Father Petri also suggests using the screen to remove distractions and seeking separate appointments for spiritual direction if needed. His tips emphasize encountering God’s mercy rather than therapy during confession. More: National Catholic Register
