If you do not feel comfortable leaving your home, that is understandable. Remember:
Where the individual faithful find themselves in the painful impossibility of receiving sacramental absolution, it should be remembered that perfect contrition, coming from the love of God, beloved above all things, expressed by a sincere request for
forgiveness (that which the penitent is at present able to express) and accompanied by votum confessionis, that is, by the firm resolution to have recourse, as soon as
possible, to sacramental confession, obtains forgiveness of sins, even mortal ones.(cf. CCC, no. 1452)
If we acknowledge our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive our sins and
cleanse us from every wrongdoing. 1 John 1:9
Act of Contrition
My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all things. I firmly intend, with your help to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Savior Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy.
Amen.
