Rite of Reconciliation
- The Act of Contrition is a prayer we say in the Sacrament of Reconciliation after we confess our sins, to say we're sorry and don't want to sin again.
- Absolution is when the priest offers you God's forgiveness after you have confessed your sins.
From Papa Francis: The Imperfect FamilyOn Valentine's Day, Pope Francis told 25,000 fiances that the success in marriage can be found in the three words, “Please, thanks, and sorry.... In our lives we make many errors, many mistakes. We all do. ... And this is why we need to be able to use this simple word, 'sorry'. In general we are all ready to accuse others and to justify ourselves. It is an instinct that lies at the origins of many disasters. Let us learn to recognize our mistakes and to apologize....The perfect family doesn't exist, nor the perfect husband nor wife. Let's not even talk about the perfect mother-in-law!”
