Reconciliation

In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, the penitent, because truly sorry for their sins, confesses these sins to a priest, who, in the name of Jesus and in the power of the Church forgives those sins by the prayer of absolution.  Any sins forgotten by the penitent are alos forgiven.  In reparation, the penitent accepts whatever penance the priest imposes.

On Easter Sunday night, Jesus gave this power to his disciples who were in the Upper Room;  "Recieve the Holy Spirit.  If you forgive men's sins, they are forgiven them; if you hold them bound, they are held bound." (Jn 20:22-23)
