The Sacrament of Penance
The sacrament of God's mercy and forgiveness
The Sacrament of Penance (also known as Reconciliation or Confession) is the sacrament through which we receive God's forgiveness for our sins. It is a beautiful encounter with Christ's mercy and love, where we are reconciled with God and the Church.
