Reconciliation
-
Confession is an act of honesty and courage - an act of entrusting ourselves, beyond sin, to the mercy of a loving and forgiving God.
- St. Pope John Paul II -
ReconciliationIn reconciliation, we acknowledge our sins before God and His Church, seek the Lord's forgiveness, and resolve to do better in the future. This healing sacrament is God's gift to us, so that any sin committed after baptism can be forgiven, and we can once again be in full communion with God and the Church.
The forgiveness of sins involves four parts: contrition, confession, penance, and absolution.- Contrition: Sincere sorrow for offending God
- Confession: Speaking our sins aloud to the priest
- Penance: Priest offers advice or imposes a prayer or practice in reparation for our sins
- Absolution: Priest forgives our sins
