The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements:

• conversion,
• confession, and
• celebration.

In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness; as a result we are called to forgive others. (Copyrighted material used with permission of Franciscan Media.)
