How the old story of people being connected to God by a string is related to the sacrament of Penance?

Sacrament of Penance is a church made doctrine and therefore man made. It is all about repentance; confession; atonement; absolution and voluntary self-punishment in order to atone for some wrongdoing. In totality, there's no basis whatsoever that it is really sanctioned by God. What it is clear is that, God has not stop us to repent for our own wrong doing. In order that your repentance can be accepted by God you have to show remorse of your past conduct and promise before God not to replicate and be a recidivist of such wrongdoing.
Roman Catholic Answer: I'm sorry, I don't know the story of people being connected to God by a string. If you could point it out to me somewhere, I will look it up and try to answer the question. It would have to be an analogy at best as God is a spirit, and, obviously, you can't be connected to a spirit by a physical object like a string. The sacrament of Penance was instituted by Jesus when he gave the power to forgive sins to the apostles.

What is reconciliation?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation(Penance) is one of the few sacraments that we can receive more than once in our lifetime. It is a wonderful experience of God's mercy and love for each of us. Many young people who receive this sacrament say that it lifts the burdens of their hearts. Although many young people struggle with this sacrament because they do not understand it, it is important for all Catholics to participate in this sacrament regularly. Jesus told his apostles, "Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven." This established the apostles, and today, priests, as the representatives within the Christian family invested with the power of forgiving sins in Jesus' name.Reconciliation is the act of making amends and offering apologies in order to again be friends and enjoy peace with the other person or people.

Who receives the anointing of the sick?
People that are are dying/about to die, have a chance of dying because of something (Such as before a high-risk surgery), or are just very ill. The person to receive the Anointing must be a baptized Catholic. If capable and if needed, they should go to confession first, and receive Holy Communion afterward. I know that the sacrament forgives venial sin, I am not sure about mortal sin in the case of someone no longer capable of making a good confession prior to receiving the sacrament - you would need to ask the priest that. The Catechism says that the sacrament "obtains the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance.

They confer a particular mission in the Church and serve to build up the People of God.
What is the difference between sacraments of the dead and sacraments of the living?
Roman Catholic AnswerSacraments of the dead are those sacraments which are given to people who are spiritually dead in sin, baptism and penance are both sacraments of the dead. Sacraments of the living mean that one must be alive in Christ, i.e. in a state of grace to even receive the sacrament: Confirmation, the Holy Eucharist, Marriage, Holy Orders are all sacraments of the living. Unction or anointing is a mixed sacrament containing elements of both. To receive a sacrament of the living while in a state of serious sin is, itself, a very grievous sin of sacrilege.
