Be Reconciled

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

Every sin, great or small, leads to the soul being darkened, the mind being muddled, and the heart becoming fearful.  The more frequently we sin the greater the darkness, confusion, and fear.

But Jesus has overcome all this.  He has given Himself on the cross for the forgiveness of our every sin.  He has given us the sacrament of Reconciliation and through the priest He listens, blesses, forgives and heals us of our sins and bring us to renewed life in the light of His Spirit.  

The more frequently we come to Jesus in Reconciliation the more He blesses us with the fullness of His love.  He frees us from the guilt and shame we carry and allows us to rest in His mercy.  In Reconciliation He blesses us with His grace and His mercy.  He calls us back into His love and grants us unbounded peace.  

Jesus came to save sinners.  He came to save each one of us.  May we allow Him to cleanse our sous and prepare us to be with Him forever in heaven through the sacrament of Reconciliation.  He waits there patiently for us to come to Him and find freedom and peace.

Prayer:

Lord may I come to You frequently in the sacrament of Reconciliation.  May I encounter You there and be filled with Your love and forgiveness.  Help me to turn from sin and walk in grace.  Amen.
