Guide for Celebrating Reconciliation
Author: J.
Philip Horrigan
In the
Sacrament of Reconciliation, the encounter of the penitent with the mercy of
God is one of the most transforming moments in the spiritual life of a
Catholic.
The
ritual itself has changed throughout history, but the purpose of the sacrament
has remained the same: to seek the forgiveness of the Lord and to renew one's
efforts to live as a faithful and loving disciple of Jesus Christ.
This
resource provides pastoral insights for celebrating individual confession,
communal Reconciliation services, and non-sacramental penance services with
attention given to liturgical ministries, liturgical environment, and
evangelization.
