Services of Reconciliation

For communal use during Advent & Lent. 

Providing a reflective approach to the Sacrament of Reconciliation that will take us to a place of personal encounter with our loving and merciful God, as we are put in touch with the deep longings of our hearts.

Services of Reconciliation contains a collection of services of reconciliation suitable for groups of various sizes. Modelled on the pattern of Lectio Divina - the process of approaching God’s mercy through his revealed word to us, these services seek to lead penitents into a prayerful and fruitful celebration through carefully chosen themes, readings and reflections.

Each service is an invitation to a gradual process of awareness of daily failures, challenges and ultimately an acceptance of God’s gratuitous love. The services are based on the appropriate scripture texts and give a choice of gentle approaches to lead those seeking forgiveness to be drawn more deeply into the heart of God, who is love.
