Not only does it free us from our sins but it also challenges us to have the same kind of compassion and forgiveness for those who sin against us.
Jesus entrusted the ministry of reconciliation to the Church. The Sacrament of Penance is God's gift to us so that any sin committed after Baptism can be forgiven. With absolution, we are reconciled to God and the Church.
