What is the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a great gift from God! God forgives every action and sin of ours that has offended Him when we go to Confession and ask for His mercy and forgiveness.
We must be truly sorry for the bad we’ve done and the good we’ve left undone. Going to confession gives us a tremendous peace and increases our strength to be good Christians, good sons and daughters of God.
