∙ 13y agoThe priest will bless you so that you may have the grace to make a good confession. He will ask any questions he might have to clarify things or to help you complete your confessions.

After you have done that (expressed sorry for your sin, and the desire to not repeat it) he will absolve you from all of your sins.
