History of Reconciliation

HOMEWORK FOR APRIL 27/30: Read Tuesdays with Morrie, pp. 1-47
Reading quiz over Tuesdays with Morrie
Read CCCC nos. 296-312


CLASS NOTES: We are initiated into the life of the Church through the sacraments of initiation, but that is only the beginning of the process. Although baptism cleanses us of original sin, the inclination to sin or concupiscence remains. The purpose of the sacrament of reconciliation is to seek forgiveness from God for the sins and failings we have committed.

Common Names for Reconciliation: sacrament of penance, reconciliation, sacrament of forgiveness, confession, and the sacrament of conversion.
