promising what he offers for no other 1110. An annual legacy endures only for ten years 1143.

The manner of offering: The Church rightly instituted the various ceremonies to be observed in the sacrifice and retains the Latin language 943, 946, 954, 956, 1436, C818 f.; in particular the Canon of the Mass is to be venerated 414, 942, and retained 953; a little water should be mixed with the wine 416 f., 452, 698, 945, 956, C814; simulated celebration is illicit 418; consecration outside of Mass or under only one appearance never is licit C817. Mass can be said on many altars of the same Church 1531.

Penance

XII i Essence: Penance is a true sacrament of the New Testament 146, 402, 424, 465, 699, 807 ff., 894 f., 911 ff., 2046; different from baptism and capable of being repeated 839, 894 f., 897, 911 ("a second plank after shipwreck" 807); instituted by Christ (John 20, 23) 732, 807, 894, 913, in the form of a judgment 895, 899, 902, 919, 2047; to whose dignity the usages introduced by the Church are not contrary 1534.

The sacramental form is not an anointing 451, but a judicial sentence 807, 895, 902, 919, through the words of the priest: "I absolve thee. . . ." 538, 699, 807, 895, 896, which ought to be proffered to one present 1088 f. By its power sins are forgiven 538, 896, not however by reason of the confidence of a man that he is absolved 802, 823 f.

The matter or quasi-matter is the acts of the penitent 699, 896, 914, contrition, confession, satisfaction, which are also called "parts" 146, 671, 699, 745, 896, 914.

Contrition is a "grief of soul and detestation for sin committed, with a purpose of not sinning again" 514 f., 747, 897, so that a man would completely wish not to have sinned 514 f.; it is a free and voluntary act 898; it is divided according to motives into natural which (although not sinful 1299, nevertheless) is not sufficient for justification 1207, and supernatural which is necessary for absolution 699, 751 f., 897 f., 1536. Contrition is to be manifested to a confessor 754, and should be the foundation for the hope of improvement 1210, and especially with regard to the flight of the proximate free occasion 1211 ff.

One kind is perfect proceeding from charity 898, which without desire for the sacrament is inefficacious 898; with desire for it always justifies 898, 1071; it does not make confession superfluous 587.

Another kind is imperfect (attrition) proceeding "commonly from a consideration of the shamefulness of sin or from a fear of hell and punishment" 898, 915, 1305.

Attrition does not necessarily include the love of God 1146, 1305; it is however a good motion 746, 898, 915, 1411 f., 1417, a free and voluntary act 897, 915, 1300, and likewise useful 1410, disposing to grace 898, 915, nevertheless without the sacrament it does not justify 898, 915, 1305, 1410, but with the sacrament suffices for justification 898.

Confession is necessary for salvation by divine right 699, 724 f., 899, 916 f., 919, and ought to include the grave sins committed after baptism 146, 430, 437, 699, 724 f., 807, 894 f., 911, C901 (not yet directly forgiven by the power of the keys 470, 491, 493), which should be manifested integrally 574a, 899, 917, 1111, 1209, according to the last species 1124 f., 1200, C901, with a material integrity or at least formal 147, 699, 900 f., 1111; for this reason sins both merely internal and manifest should be brought in to the accusation 726 f., 748, 899, and even circumstances changing the species 899, 917; sins inculpably omitted are to be indicated in a subsequent confession 1111; evil customs are not to be denied 1208; and this formal in-
