In the sacrament of reconciliation or confession, you receive sanctifying grace if you make a worthy confession. The priest will hear your confession and absolve you of your sins, if he is able (which means that you are genuinely contrite and intend to not sin again), and give you a penance, which is usually a token punishment for you to show your repentance to God. The sacrament of penance restores you to baptismal purity.
