i) Speak to God, express your love for him and his Son, Jesus; ii) Pray for genuine, loving contrition for your sins; iii) Enumerate your sins silently; iv) Ask for forgiveness for your sins; v) Say an Act of Contrition; vi) Promise with true intention to confess your sins to a priest, whom God has placed here for you, as soon as you are able, so that you might be healed and fully reconciled

It is very clear: if you do not find a priest to hear your confession, speak to God, he is your father, and tell him the truth. Enumerate your sins, ask the Lord for forgiveness with all your heart, and make an act of contrition. Promise him: ‘Later I will confess, but forgive me now.’ And immediately you will return to the grace of God.”" Read Full Article.
