Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation: God Is Rich in Mercy (CCC 1420-1498)
In this Sacrament of Healing we are Reconciled to God and the Church
Through the Sacraments of Christian Initiation, we receive the new life of Christ. But the weakness of our human nature and our inclination to sin continues to remain and affect our lives. The Church offers us the Sacraments of Healing to assist in the daily journey of conversion and reconciliation.
