The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1454 The reception of this sacrament [Confession/Penance/Reconciliation] ought to be prepared for by an examination of conscience made in the light of the Word of God. The passages best suited to this can be found in the Ten Commandments, the moral catechesis of the Gospels and the apostolic Letters, such as the Sermon on the Mount and the apostolic teachings. (Cf. Mt 5-7; Rom 12-15; 1 Cor12-13; Gal 5; Eph 4-6; etc.)
Receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation is important because we get forgiveness for our sins, we get advice on avoiding the same sins in the future, keeps us in the Grace of God and brings us closer to Christ. And allows us to have less guilt or shame in our lives.Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the Catholic Church.The Sacrament of Reconciliation is important because is it one of the two sacraments which Our Blessed Lord established for us which can (and should) be received frequently, it is the normal way in which Our Blessed Lord established for us to have our sins forgiven in order to worthily receive Holy Communion and the graces which He wishes to give us in order for us to grow. To spurn regular reception of the sacrament of Penance is to not understand how much God loves us and to spurn His grace: so it is *very* important - or should be - for every Catholic.The short answer is because this is what Jesus taught. Reconciliation is so important that Jesus was sent by the Father to selflessly die to free us from our sins.
Reconciliation is very important because through the sacrament of reconciliation you are sure that your sins are forgiven. Unlike Christians who pray silently and are not sure if their sins are forgiven, we can be sure. We confess with the priest and say our penance; we know that if we die at that moment we would go to heaven and have no sins in our souls. There are two types of sins mortal and venial; someone who dies with a mortal sin in their soul has little chance of making heaven.
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.

Reconciliation and forgiveness are extremely important to Christians. This is because Christians try to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Jesus was known for forgiving those who did him wrong, and accepting all people, regardless of how society perceived them.

The sacrament that is known as the sacrament of sacraments is the Eucharist. It is considered the most important and central sacrament in the Catholic Church, as it is believed to be the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ.
