In fact there are 4 sometimes 5 elements to sacramental confession in the Catholic Church. These mirror closely what we find in the story of the Prodigal Son in the Gospel of Luke 15.
The son left his Father's house and went into a far country. This is going away from God. Then he descended to the level of pigs. This is losing his Christian and human dignity through sin.
He comes to his senses: Contrition
He says: I will say to my Father, "Father I have sinned against heaven and against you". Notice the Father lets him 'confess' his sins, not for the Father's sake, but for his son's sake.
The Father forgives his son:
The son would just like to be treated just like a paid servant. This is his attempt at satisfaction or reparation
Contrition = I feel very sorry for what I did
Confession = I confess my sins to the priest
Absolution = The priest forgives me my sins
Satisfaction or reparation = after confession I do some penance to repair the damage.
The Rites of Reconciliation are:
- The First Rite of Reconciliation: This is a rite that we would commonly call confession where we confess our sins to the priest.
- The Second Rite of Reconciliation: This rite is a communal liturgy where a community will come together and follow a normal mass routine excluding the Eucharist. Individual confession is also completed during the liturgy.
- The Third Rite of Reconciliation: This rite is rarely done but happens usually in times of war or when a ship is sinking (usually a time where death may be near for a group of people) a general absolution is given by a priest so that the people may rest knowing God has forgiven them.
They are not rituals but elements. The Sacrament of Reconciliation in the Catholic religion consists of 3 elements: Confession, Conversion, Celebration.

The name of the sacrament which you confesses your sins is called the Sacrament of Penance. Its three names are reconciliation, penance, and confession.
In the Roman Catholic Church, the Penitential Rite is a part of the Introductory Rites of the Mass. The Penitential Rite is a time of reflection on one's sins and a prayer for God's mercy. While the Penitential Rite is similar to the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, the priest does not offer absolution; this differs from Anglicanism, where absolution is offered during the Penitential Rite.
The sacraments in order : * Baptism (Christening) * Confirmation (Chrismation) * Holy Eucharist (or Holy Communion) * Penance (Confession / Reconciliation) * Anointing of the Sick (known prior to Vatican II as Extreme Unction (or more literally from Latin: Last Anointing); informally, the "Last Rites") * Holy Orders * Matrimony
They are: Latin Rite (what we know well in the West) Syro-Malabar Rite (part of the East Syrian branch of rites) Syro-Malankara Rite (part of the West Syrian branch of rites)
The Last Rites for Catholic include several sacraments: Reconciliation/Penance/Confession, Confirmation (if the person hasn't received it yet ), Anointing of the Sick . . . and Viaticum (which is meant to be the last reception of Holy Communion for the journey from this life to eternity), along with the Apostolic Blessing, which carries a Plenary Indulgence (under the usual conditions).
