Three things are required of a penitent in order to receive the sacrament of reconciliation worthily.
1. He must be contrite—or, in other words, sorry for sins.
2. He must confess those sins fully, in kind and in number.
3. He must be willing to do penance and make amends for his sins.
Confession How Often Should You Go
While Catholics are only required to go to Confession when they are aware that they have committed a mortal sin, the Church urges the faithful to take advantage of the sacrament often. A good rule of thumb is to go once per month. (The Church strongly recommends that, in preparation for fulfilling our Easter Duty to receive communion, we go to Confession even if we are aware only of venial sin.)
