Today we are going to learn about The Sacrament of Reconciliation.
One of the more formal ways of saying sorry to God is through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. It is sometimes called Confession or Penance. It is in this Sacrament that Christians celebrate God’s love and mercy. It helps them to think about their lives and how they are following Jesus and it gives them the opportunity to make a new start. There is a lot of information to read below to find out about the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Some of the words can be quite tricky to understand, it will help to discuss this information with an adult.
