Penance/Reconciliation:

The sacrament in which Christ’s Divine Mercy is given freely
to us. This sacrament has three components: conversion, confession and celebration.
Reconciliation allows us to return to a state of grace by experiencing God’
unconditional forgiveness. We, in turn, are called to forgive others as we have been
forgiven.

“Baptism does snatch us from the power of sin and death and brings us into the new
life of the children of God, but it does not free us from human weakness and the
inclination to sin. That is why we need a place where we can be reconciled with God
again and again. That place is confession.” YOUCAT 226.
