About
“The Lord never tires of forgiving. It is we who tire of asking for forgiveness.” – Pope Francis
Saint Padre Pio encourages us to regular confession more than twice a year. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is God’s gift of mercy, restoring our relationship with Him through the forgiveness of sins. In this sacred encounter, we confess our sins with a contrite heart, receive absolution through the priest, and are strengthened by God’s grace to walk in His love. A good Catholic examination of conscience can be great help in making a new start in the life of faith and making an act of contrition daily.
“Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God’s mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion.” -Catechism of the Catholic Church 1422
