Reconciliation or Confession
The Sacrament of Reconciliation celebrates God’s faithful and limitless love for us. It offers us the experience of a personal encounter with God’s steadfast love: “With unchanging love do I love you.” The covenant is renewed in the liberation from sin, in the renewed gift of the Holy Spirit, and in our renewed participation in the passion, death and resurrection of Christ. This empowers us to continue our life’s journey with our light rekindled and our baptismal robe unstained.

Reconciliation
Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained."
1 JOHN 20:21-23
