Reconciliation

It is called the sacrament of conversion because it makes sacramentally present Jesus' call to conversion, the first step in returning to the Father ⁵ from whom one has strayed by sin.

It is called the sacrament of Penance , since it consecrates the Christian sinner's personal and ecclesial steps of conversion, penance, and satisfaction.

It is called the sacrament of confession , since the disclosure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.

It is called the sacrament of forgiveness , since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."

It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation , because it imparts to the sinner the live of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God." ⁷ He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."
