It is the rite by which sins are confessed and forgiven. Sin is the failure to recognise and love God in the way we think or act. Sin is also not just a failure to love God directly but also a failure to love one another. This is referred to as \u201cthe community sense of sin\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Absolution<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this sacrament, people are forgiven their sins by the words and actions of the priest. We call this \u2018Absolution\u2019. The priest represents God and the community who is affected by sin and the priest ministers forgiveness on behalf of God and the community.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forms Of Celebration<\/strong><br \/>\nThe sacrament can be celebrated in a one-to-one encounter with a priest: this is known as \u2018individual confession\u2019. Many parishes also organise \u2018Penitential Services\u2019 at special times; e.g. Advent, Lent and Parish Missions. In this form of celebration, which is communal, people prepare as a community and many priests hear the confessions individually and people receive absolution individually.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penance<\/strong><br \/>\nPenance is a sign of sorrow and a commitment to try to make amends. It is also a sign of our sincerity to change our lives. This is what is meant by conversion. When the Sacrament is a communal celebration, the penance is said as a community, once all have had the opportunity to confess. When celebrated in the traditional one-to-one form, a penance is given and the person takes on that penance privately.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who?<\/strong><br \/>\nAny person who has been baptised and prepared appropriately can celebrate this sacrament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reconciliation \/ Confession The Sacrament of Reconciliation\/Confession is celebrated in the Church each Saturday after the 10am and before the 6:30pm Masses and on request.
