During absolution, a priest formally forgives a penitent for their sins after they have confessed. This sacramental act includes the priest invoking the authority of Christ to grant forgiveness, often accompanied by a prayer. The penitent is reassured of God's mercy and is encouraged to amend their life. Absolution is an essential part of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Catholicism.
