*****Reconciled*****

On his way up to sit with Father Dave
Spending a moment confessing and receiving penance

All done. Looks pretty good.

A moment with a good friend

Today Nate and his classmates celebrated the Sacrament of Reconciliation. For the non-catholics reading, this is the first sacrament a child celebrates since baptism at birth. The Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as the Sacrament of Penance, or Penance and Reconciliation) has three elements: conversion, confession and celebration. In it we find God's unconditional forgiveness, and as a result we are called to forgive others.
