Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation: God is rich in Mercy
Jesus entrusted the Ministry of Reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God’s gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is a holy moment in which we place ourselves in his presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the truth that we cannot live without God.

I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. - Philippians 4:13
