On Monday, April 4, we celebrate our Lenten Reconciliation service at 7:00 pm. The Sacrament of Reconciliation is Christ’s gift to us, the means by which we experience his loving mercy and forgiveness.

Here are some resources to help you prepare for this important sacrament:

Ten Tips for a Better Confession: The Gift of Reconciliation

Lent and the Sacrament of Reconciliation

Prayer of the Penitent (before confession)

Lord Jesus,
you opened the eyes of the blind,
healed the sick,
forgave the sinful woman,
and after Peter’s denial confirmed him in your love.
Listen to my prayer.
Forgive all my sins,
renew your love in my heart,
and help me to live in perfect unity with my fellow Christians
that I may proclaim your saving power to all the world.
Amen
