2 BALTIMORE CATECHISM LESSON TWENTIETH: On the Manner of Making a Good Confession Q What should we do after telling our sins? A. After telling our sins we should listen with attention to the advice which the confessor may think proper to give. Q What duties does the priest perform in the confessional? A. In the confessional the priest performs the duties: 1. Of a judge, by listening to our selfaccusations and passing sentence upon our guilt or innocence; 2. Of a father, by the good advice and encouragement he gives us; 3. Of a teacher, by his instructions, and 4. Of a physician, by discovering the afflictions of our soul and giving us the remedies to restore it to spiritual health. Q Why is it beneficial to go always if possible to the same confessor? A. It is beneficial to go always, if possible, to the same confessor, because our continued confessions enable him to see more clearly the true state of our soul and to understand better our occasions of sin.

6 Knights of Columbus Baby Bottle Project IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO RETURN YOUR BABY BOTTLES & DONATIONS The Knights of Columbus continue to accept donations for its pro-life baby bottle campaign which wrapped up on Father's Day weekend. We are hoping to reach the $1,000 mark, as we have over the past several years of this campaign, but are still several hundred dollars short of this goal. If you have not yet done so, please consider making a contribution to this very worthy pro-life cause. Thank you! The U.S. bishops have called for a Fortnight for Freedom, a two-week period of prayer and action, to address many current challenges to religious liberty: HHS mandate for contraception, sterilization, and abortion-inducing drugs Catholic foster care and adoption services under fire, forced out of states Discrimination against small church congregations Discrimination against Catholic humanitarian services Discrimination against Christian students on campus "We are Catholics. We are Americans. We are proud to be both, grateful for the gift of faith which is ours as Christian disciples, and grateful for the gift of liberty which is ours as American citizens. To be Catholic and American should mean not having to choose one over the other. Our allegiances are distinct, but they need not be contradictory, and should instead be complementary. That is the teaching of our Catholic faith, which obliges us to work together with fellow citizens for the common good of all who live in this land. That is the vision of our founding and our Constitution, which guarantees citizens of all religious faiths the right to contribute to our common life together.
