I'm having my Lay Dominican formation students give a lesson on the Sacrament of Reconciliation to the entire Catholic community in the prison. Here's my lesson plan:
Ask if they know these vocabulary words that we'll be using: confessor, penitent, examen, etc.
Catechism definition
Explain why confessing to a priest is better than confessing to a bartender or hairdresser. Why we confess to a priest instead of directly to God?
History of the Sacrament of Reconciliation
Some Confession facts: mortal and venial sin, when, how, how often, etc.
Fun reading of Psalm 51: 1-13--people pinch their noses when sin is mentioned and hand washing motions for words of cleansing and forgiveness.
Skit: Someone plays the Confessor and have 3 different penitents give examples of making a confession
Ending by distributing an Examination of Conscience specifically crafted for them in their particular situation
