    From Trent's Catechism:

    Necessity Of Confession


    Contrition, it is true, blots out sin; but who does not know that to effect this it must be so intense, so ardent, so
    vehement, as to bear a proportion to the magnitude of the crimes which it effaces? This is a degree of contrition
    which few reach; and hence, in this way, very few indeed could hope to obtain the pardon of their sins. It, therefore, became necessary that the most merciful Lord should provide by some easier means for the common
    salvation of men; and this He has done in His admirable wisdom, by giving to His Church the keys of the
    kingdom of heaven.



    While you can, go to Mass and confession often and pray 15 decades of the rosary every single day. The days of being unable to find a priest, or get to a priest for confession may not be all that far off.
    Seems like that is coming.  Where possible I would recomend to start planning how to be near a priest in a serious grid down type of situation.

    • Whether it is difficult or not, we should, EVERY DAY SINGLE DAY, practice making an act of perfect contrition. Do it now without delay and make it part of your daily routine.

    It is true that few people achieve it, but I believe it is not because of the difficulty in making an act of perfect contrition, but rather because few people try to do it.
