CONSIDERATION On the Confession of the Retreat
Project Gutenberg EPUB edition
Ignatius, of Loyola, Saint and Coppens, Charles
The direct purpose of the first days of the retreat is to purify the soul of all guilt of sin and all attachment to sin. For this purpose the Sacrament of Penance is the most efficient means, and the confession of sins is an integral part of the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius.
