Abstract

„Penance requires the sinner to endure all things willingly, be contrite of heart, confess with the lips, and practice complete humility and fruitful satisfaction.” (CCC 1450) The sacrament of conversion and reconciliation turns us  towards Christ, to the source of salvation that flows from
His Heart. Christians are called to celebrate the mercy of God in a sacramental way. We have the great gift of being able to experience the fruit of peace and reconciliation. Our mission is to give that gift to the world through personal and sacramental testimony. If a man confesses his sin, the
justice of God my purify the sinner. God does not just heal the sinner but recreates him and gives him a new heart.
