The Sacrament of Reconciliation

the prophets of Old, John the Baptist, and the adulterous woman

Repentance

Confession of sin to the priest

"And he said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned’" (Mark 16:15–16).

"Then Jesus said to the woman, 'Your sins are forgiven.'" (Luke 7:48).

"Lo, I am with you always, to the close of the age" (Matt. 28:19–20).

It allows us to sin as much as we want and never feel bad about it or pay the consequences for our actions.

There is really no need to seek forgiveness for these types of small sins.

At the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

When you tell your friend or trusted mentor about it.

It is not really necessary to go if you tell God you are sorry in your heart.

Only if they have mortal sins.

During the Christmas and Easter season.
