Canon 721

1. For a member of the Christian faithful to enjoy the sacramental absolution given to many at the same time, it is required

not only that the person be properly disposed, but also at the

same time intend in due time to confess individually the grave

sins which at the present time cannot be confessed. 2. As much

as can be done, the Christian faithful are to be instructed concerning these requirements; an exhortation that each person take

care to make an act of contrition is to precede general absolution, even in danger of death if time is available.
