Reconciliation

Reconciliation is a sacrament of healing.


Repentance is the act of being truly sorry for a
sin that you have committed and a sin is a
thought or action that displeases God.

There are 2 types of sin venial and mortal sin


although mortal is more powerful they are both
still sins.

There are 4 steps of reconciliation


Confession-telling our sins to the priest
Conversion-we promise to e good and to change
Forgiveness-through the priest god pardons our
sins
Penance-we say some prayers or actions

In this sacrament we examine our conscience,


go to confession, we recite the act of
contribution and receive the absolution of sins
and do penance.

The purpose of reconciliation is to help us love


god deeply and commit ourselves deeply to him,
we can make god happy by not hurting others
and respecting God and others.

In the olden day you would need to say your sins


in front of everyone, but as time went by they
made reconciliation private.
