The Touch of Life: The Sacrament of Reconciliation

The essence of the Sacrament of Confession is an encounter with Christ, who is "the way, the truth and the life." Christ waits for each one of us, children of God, called by him his friends but also sinners. He is present in the priest to set us free: "I absolve you from your sins." This freedom is the cause of Christian joy and the secret of Christian peace. We offer this book to you as a help to understand and experience the forgiveness of God the Father. We examine the relevance of the sacrament for Christian life, the steps for a good Confession, how family life is connected to confession, and how to understand our multiple failings within the context of our friendship with Christ. We offer practical examples and tips that can help us draw more fruit from each Confession.
