The Sacrament of Reconciliation, also known as Confession or Penance, is a beautiful expression of the infinite mercy and love that God has for all of us. It is a healing remedy for our sinfulness, calling us to discover the struggles that cause sinful acts and present them to God in the presence of the priest. In the Sacrament or Reconciliation, the penitent, that is, the one seeking forgiveness, meets one on one with a priest to confess their sins. With sincere contrition and intent to not sin again, they will receive formal absolution and often pastoral encouragement concerning the Christian struggle with sin.
