During the season of Lent, we turn back to God. We acknowledge
that we have sinned and ask for God’s mercy. The principal place
that we receive the mercy that flows from the heart of the Crucified
Christ is at the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Jesus said to his apostles, “Whose sins you forgive, they are
forgiven and whose sins you shall retain are retained” (John 20:23).
The priest acts in the person of Christ Jesus during the Sacrament of
Reconciliation (also called Penance and Confession).
The sacrament has several main components. First, we need to tell
our sins to the priest (confession) admitting that we have sinned. All
mortal sins, even the most secret and embarrassing offenses, must be
confessed. The priest doesn’t need all the details, but he needs to
know what is being confessed. Any person, aware of being in the
state of mortal sin, must not receive the Sacrament of Eucharist
before going to confession.
True sorrow for our failures (contrition) and a change of heart
(conversion) are absolutely necessary as well; faith in God’s loving
mercy, words of advice, absolution by the priest and the healing of
relationships form equally vital portions of the process. After
confessing our sins to the priest, we receive absolution. Only God
forgives sins, but the priest sits in persona Christi and offers the
forgiveness of God together with human forgiveness with respect to
the harm done on both the personal and communal level.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation exists to restore us to God’s
grace and to reconnect us to Him as his adopted children in Christ.
Seen in this light, the sacrament becomes not something to be feared,
but rather an opportunity to be healed of those things that separate us
from God and from our neighbors. Be not afraid! Take this Lent as
your opportunity to be reconciled to God.
In Corde Iesu,
Fr. Jason

Durante la cuaresma, regresamos a Dios. Reconocemos que
hemos pecado por eso, pedimos la misericordia de Dios. La manera
principal cuando recibimos la misericordia de Cristo crucificado es
en el sacramento de la Reconciliación.
Jesús dijo a sus discípulos, “A quienes descarguen de sus
pecados, serán liberados, y a quienes se los retengan, les serán
retenidos.” (Juan 20:23). El sacerdote actúa en la persona de Cristo
Jesús durante el Sacramento de la Reconciliación (también llamado
Penitencia y Confesión).
El sacramento tiene varios componentes. Primero, necesitamos
decirle todos nuestros pecados al sacerdote (confesión) admitiendo
que hemos pecado. Todos los pecados mortales aun los más
vergonzosos deben ser confesados. El sacerdote no necesita todos los
detalles, pero necesita saber lo que se esta confesando. Cualquier
persona viviendo en pecado mortal no debe tomar el sacramento de la
Eucaristía sin antes ir a confesarse.
El arrepentimiento verdadero (contrición) y cambio personal
(conversión) son indispensables. La fe en el amor y bondad de Dios,
palabras de aliento, absolución, y la sanación en las relaciones son
una parte vital en el proceso. Después de confesar los pecados al
sacerdote recibimos la absolución. Solamente Dios perdona los
pecados, pero el sacerdote que actúa in persona Cristi puede ofrecer
el perdón de Dios junto con el perdón humano y respetando el dolor
causado por el pecado tanto en lo personal como en lo comunal.
El sacramento de la Reconciliación existe para regresar a Dios
como hijos adoptivos que somos por medio de Cristo. Viéndolo así,
el sacramento no es motivo de miedo, al contrario es una oportunidad
para sanar de las cosas que nos separan de Dios y de nuestros
semejantes. No tengan miedo. Aprovecha en esta cuaresma para
reconciliarte con Dios
In Corde Iesu,
Padre Jason
