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.
