St John Vianney..

What is Reconciliation?

St. John Vianney said...

- "It is said that many confess, and few are converted. I believe it is so, my children, because few confess with tears of repentance."

- "Put yourself on good terms with God; have recourse to the Sacrament of Penance; you will sleep as quietly as an angel. You will be glad to waken in the night, to pray to God."

-Reconciliation is being reunited in peace and friendship with someone we have hurt by our sins-especially God, the Church, and ourselves.

What happens during

Reconciliation?

- During Reconciliation there is a blessing from the priest, a reading from Scripture, the confession of sins, the giving and accepting of a penance, an act of contrition, the priest's absolution, a proclamation of praise of God, and a dismissal.

- Confession of sins: the words "I'm sorry" is made in the light of God's mercy and we are forgiven.

- Contrition: is defined as "heartfelt sorrow and aversion for the sin committed alone with the intention of

sinning no more."

- Absolution: the prayer by which a

preist by the power given to the

Church by Jesus Christ, pardons a

repentant sinner in the Sacrament

of Penance.

- During Reconciliation we

recieve forgiveness of our sins.

Penance/Reconciliation

By: Adyson and Hunter

What is Penance?

Why Confess to a Priest?

- Penance is a sign of our true sorrow for the sins we have commited.

- It may be a prayer, an offering, a work of mercy, an act of service to a neighbor, or a voluntary act of self-denial.

- When we confess our sins to a priest, we are admitting the harm we have cause to others.

- We are admitting that our sin affected the entire Body of Christ.
