Confession Planner is intended for persons above 13 years of age to aid the repentant person with their confession with their father of confession. By no means does it replace receiving the absolution from the priest! The Confession Planner app helps prepare you in a gentle manner by guiding you through a series of questions with the repentant answering yes or no to each offense. Each question is rooted to the ten commandment and supported by verses from the bible. Additionally, to help you understand the offenses, the questionnaire is divided into three categories of: Sins against God; Sins against my neighbors; Sins against myself. At the end of the examination questions, a text box allows you to type in any additional offenses that might be on your mind. Completing the questionnaire generates a report presented in a “first person” format making it easy to read during confessional. Included also are prayers of repentance before and after confession. Rest assured, the app does not ask your name or any sort of information. You have the ability to save the report which will self-destruct in 7 days also delete at any time. This app was created by dedicated youth from: Holy Nativity Coptic Orthodox Church Diocese of Los Angeles, Southern California, and Hawaii www.hncoc.org
