What is the essential rite of penance?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The essential rite of penance is:

Contrition - The recipient must be genuinely sorry and they are also vowing not to commit that same sin again.

Confession - The recipient states what they did wrong to the priest.

Satisfaction (Penance) - The action given by the priest that the recipient must do.

Absolution - God's action of forgiveness given through the priest.
