Jesus said to His disciples again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." When He had said this, He breathed
on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven;
if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
John 20:21-23
The Sacraments of Initiation – Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist – equip and sanctify us for living as Christ’s people. Knowing our weakness and our tendency to stray into sin, God provides the Sacrament of Reconciliation as our pathway of return to the fullness of life in Christ.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is Christ’s personal invitation to repentance and continuing conversion. By confessing our sins and hearing anew God’s gracious word of mercy, we receive God’s forgiveness and are reconciled with Christ’s Church.
All Catholics are typically expected to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year.
