Reconciliation aims to support you as you help your child prepare to receive the sacrament of Reconciliation. Its main teaching is that the sacrament re-affirms the constant truth of God's love and forgiveness for the times we fail and need forgiveness. Kathy Horan provides a brief introduction to the Church's teachings on Reconciliation and explains how the celebration of the sacrament has changed since the Second Vatican Council. She uses brief reflections from Scripture to demonstrate that Jesus always proclaimed God's readiness to forgive our wrongdoings no matter the circumstances.
She offers ten themes that parents and children can explore together:
1. Created in God's image
2. T he Baptism of Jesus
3. Baptism: a new creation
4. We make choices
5. Brokenness
6. Jesus brings hope and healing
7. We celebrate forgiveness
8. R eviewing the day
9. T he shape of Reconciliation
10. Building bridges: making peace

Each session contains a scripture story, family reflection activities and prayers.
