During the second grade year, the students are prepared for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. We learn this sacrament is a celebration of God's loving forgiveness. We learn that we have a responsibility to care for one another and make good choices. This is how we express our love for God. We learn about sin, and that reconciliation is something we do everyday, we make peace with one another and celebrate being friends again.
We also learn that Jesus forgives us as soon as we are sorry.
Sacramental Reconciliation, talking individually to the priest about our sins, is a very special way of asking God's forgiveness, and making and celebrating peace within our Christian community. Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation we receive personal assurance from the priest that Jesus forgives us, as well as the grace to overcome our sins. Finally, the rite of Reconciliation is taught, as well as the Act of Contrition.
It is my hope that this information will help you prepare your child for this wonderful sacrament. Please give your child your guidance and help answer their questions and concerns.
