The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also called Confession) is a process for receiving forgiveness from God. Here's a brief overview:
- Beforehand: Reflect on your actions and pray for guidance.
- The Confession: Talk to a priest and confess your sins.
- The Priest's Role: A priest will listen without judgment and offer advice.
- Act Of Contrition: Said by you (To the right).
- Absolution: The priest grants forgiveness on behalf of God with the prayer of absolution.
- Penance: The priest assigns you a small act to reinforce your repentance (e.g. prayers).
This practice helps Catholics restore their relationship with God and experience peace.
