Reconciliation, also known as Penance or Confession, is one of the seven sacraments established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, to bring grace to people, and to enable them to have their sins forgiven through the salvation offered them by His Sacrifice on the cross. It is the only normal way that God has established for us to have our serious sins forgiven (outside of Baptism).
