The penitent goes to the priest, names his sins, all the circumstance which could affect culpability (increasing or lessening it) and the number of times each of them happened. After this the priest gives advice on how to avoid falling into this sin or how to continue living in God's grace, assigns penance and absolves the sins with the authority of Jesus Christ. After this the penitent leaves, fortified by the graces of this sacrament and can perform the penance any time between then and his next confession.

Then he finishes up by saying: For these and all other sins which I can not now remember, and for all the sins of my past life, I have heartily sorry, and ask pardon, absolution and penance.
The priest will then ask you any questions he may have, assign a penance, and ask you to make an Act of Contrition.
You recite your act of contrition, and the priest absolves you from your sins.
He will then make an closing remark, prayer, or blessing and you leave.
