What is Reconciliation?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is an encounter with God\u2019s mercy. Christ calls us to conversion, \u201cRepent and believe in the Gospel\u201d (Mk 1:15)\u2014and invites us to return to the Father (cf. Lk 15:18). <\/p>\n

This sacrament is also known as:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Conversion<\/strong>, because it calls us to return to God.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Penance<\/strong>, because it involves repentance and a change of life.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Confession<\/strong>, because we acknowledge our sins.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Forgiveness<\/strong>, because God grants us His grace and peace.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Reconciliation<\/strong>, because it restores our relationship with God and with the Church (cf. 2 Cor 5:20).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    By receiving it, we experience God\u2019s merciful love and are strengthened to live in a state of grace and to be reconciled with others (cf. Mt 5:24).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
