Sacrament of Reconciliation – The Pope Video 3 – March 2021
The Sacrament of Reconciliation​
​
What does the sacrament of reconciliation mean to you? Have you already had that experience? Francis tells us: “When I go to confession, it is in order to be healed, to heal my soul. To leave with greater spiritual health.”

The Pope invites us to live this sacrament of love that transforms our life: “The center of confession is not the sins we declare, but the divine love we receive, of which we are always in need.” God is greater than our sins.
​
Share this message full of joy with everyone you care about, and go to the sacrament of forgiveness to savor the Lord’s infinite mercy. It’s a gift for you!
