Penance: A Gift of God’s Boundless Mercy
The Sacrament of Penance is an experience of the gift
of God's boundless mercy. Not only does it free us from
our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of
compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against
us. We are liberated to be forgivers. We obtain new
insight into the words of the Prayer of St. Francis: "It is
in pardoning that we are pardoned."
Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the
Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so
that any sin committed after Baptism can be
forgiven. In confession we have the opportunity to
repent and recover the grace of friendship with God. It is
a holy moment in which we place ourselves in his
presence and honestly acknowledge our sins, especially
mortal sins. With absolution, we are reconciled to God
and the Church. The Sacrament helps us stay close to the
truth that we cannot live without God. "In him we live
and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28). While all
the Sacraments bring us an experience of the mercy that
comes from Christ's dying and rising, it is the Sacrament
of Reconciliation that is the unique Sacrament of mercy.
