Lenten reconciliation at our parish will take place on Palm Sunday, April 14th at 8:00 pm. SACRAMENT OF PENANCE is important. Let the Lent be a time of conversion and repentance. Let us try to prepare ourselves for the Sacrament of Penance by analyzing our approach. Here is a reminder of the five conditions for a good confession. EXAMINATION OF CONSCIENCE – examine the state of my soul from my last confession; SORROW FOR HAVING OFFENDED GOD – sorry for the sins I committed; A RESOLUTION OF SIN NO MORE – decide to do everything in my power to prevent these sins from happening; CONFESSION OF OUR SINS – confess ALL my sins to the priest; REPARATION TO GOD & NEIGHBOUR – do the penance given by the priest; HOLY CONFESSION – according to the new liturgical regulation about Holy Masses to honour full participation in Sunday Masses, priests do not hear confession during Sunday Masses. Penitents are asked to come before a Mass (30 min.) or to confess on a week day. You are asked not to close the door when leaving the confessional. Please do not wait until the last moment to go to confession. You can make use of this sacrament by coming a half an hour early before every Mass.
