Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation
Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labours for their conversion."
Reconciliation
Run back to him with all your heart...
Our human nature has inherited from the fall of Adam and Eve a state call concupiscence. This is the sin causing error. God in his infinite Mercy provided us a way in which we can run back to him when we fall. Reconciliation is a beautiful way back to Christ after we recognise our error... .
God is merciful
It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.
