Resolution (theology)
The good intent is part of the Catholic confession . It is the continuation of repentance and directs the goodwill towards one or more concrete situations in which the confessor wants to avoid evil (especially serious sins) and do good in the future. Good intentions enable the confessor to take the first steps towards bettering himself. It should be concrete, feasibly small and noticeably big.
Quote
“The good very often remains on the trivial level of the most general intentions; The wide space of concrete everyday pragmatics is left to indifference and malice. "
