How was Reconciliation?
In the sacrament of Reconciliation, all the sins that you have confessed and didpenance for is 100% forgiven but you might still have to face the consequences. Reconciliation can be quite scary and nerve racking for some people especially if they have done very serious sins. But rest assured, the priest cannot tell anybody your sins or they have sinned and will be excommunicated (Stripped of their status of being a clergyman). They also normally forget your sins afterwards anyways. If you feel scared of going to confession, try going to confession in a another church or with another priest who doesn't know you so well. Remember, you aren't confessing your sins to the priest, you are confessing your sins to God, the priest doesn't forgive your sins, God does.

What are confessionals?
Confessonials are small boxes/rooms a bit like changing rooms where people go to confess their sins to a priest and be absolved. The priest will enter into one box and the 'sinner' in th other. There is genrally a small section of wire mesh between the two so that you can be heard clearly but not be seen. first you will say to the prest: "Bless me father I have sinned it has been (no. days/weeks/months/years) since my last confession" The priest will the ask what your sins were and you will tell him. He is under a binding oath not to tell a single soul what is said in confessonials because that is between you the priest and god. The priest will then bless you and absolve you of your sins and give you a pennance to show you're sorry. this will often be some thing like 5 Hail Marys.
