Good morning Class 4!
I hope you are having a lovely day!
Before we start our RE task, make sure you check yesterday’s Art blog, there are some wonderful self portraits on there!
As you know we have been looking at ‘Building Bridges.’
We have looked at how we can build a bridge of friendship and love based on trust, kindness and many other qualities. But what happens when the bridge gets damaged or broken?
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is also called Confession, Penance and Sacrament of Forgiveness. This Sacrament has been given to us to confess or acknowledge our sins, seek forgiveness and be reconciled to God and one another. It is like a bridge. It helps Christians to live as followers of Jesus, knowing that forgiveness leads to joy and peace. In this sacrament, those receiving it may be sure of the love and mercy of God.
The most important thing that people preparing to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation need is to be sorry for their sins. There is a special word for this – ‘contrition’. When you have had a quarrel with someone, you can never make up unless you are really and truly sorry – that is, if you have contrition. It about realising the consequences of what you have done, the hurt you have caused to others, as well as to yourself. When you have contrition, you will try very hard not to sin again and there will be peace in your heart.
Some questions to reflect upon:
Q How do you feel when you have done something wrong?
Q What is the next thing you might do?
Q How does sin affect others and yourself?
Q Why is contrition so important?
Q Why did Jesus say that it is no good putting gifts on the altar if you are not at peace with someone?
You might want to listen to this song called ‘I’m Sorry’ which is all about the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Your Task…
Compile a glossary of words associated with the Sacrament of Reconciliation in a grid format (see below). Think about how you can show each part of reconciliation in your daily life.
When you have finished your table, send in a photograph of it so that we can compile some ideas as a class of things we can do in our daily life to build and repair bridges.
Think carefully about each box and ensure you include enough detail about how you can show this in your daily life.
I look forward to reading your thoughts and ideas.
From Miss Lee 🙂

Hi Miss Lee!
Here is my answers to the questions:
1. I feel rather guilty and sad.
2. I would after apologise to that person and say sorry for what I have done.
3. I think it makes us feel separated from God.
4. I think contrition is so important because it’s the the way that we ask God to forgive us from our sins.
5. Because if we want God to forgive us from our sins, then we need to forgive others first.
Very thoughtful answers Clare, thank you!
I can show each part of reconciliation in my daily life by thinking what I did wrong ,like,How I didn’t listen what my mum said,or disrespecting my parents,or anything like that.
Well done Amarissa, yes sometimes reflecting is good as it helps us to learn and grow.

1. I feel guilty and sad.
2. I would say sorry and try to do better.
3. It makes me feel away from Jesus and God and my friends.
4. It is important because you hurt God and it helps you to do better in the future.
5. Because you lie that you are in peace to everyone to be in peace with God you have to be in peace with everyone.
Well done Martin, you have thought carefully about the questions.
forgiveness- the act of forgiving someone who has made you feel sad or angry
Sorry – When you feel you have made the wrong choice and want to fix this
Compassion – You feel bad about hurting someone or feel in his shoes
Friendship- You always forgive your true friends because they are your friends
Well done Rafael! You have described each of your chosen words, can you think of how you can show these things in your daily life?
