    The Sacrament of Penance
    The SacramentsPenance
    8 lessonsA person gifted with grace and free will may choose to live for God or reject Him through sinful acts, the consequence of which can diminish charity or even remove habitual grace altogether. What then is one to do? In the sacrament of Penance — also known as Reconciliation, or Confession — the Christian is restored to the life of divine grace and strengthened in the virtue of penance. But, how does this sacrament work? Why do we confess to a priest? Is your confession really a secret? Why do you have to do a penance? What's the difference between mortal and venial sin? And what's the truth about indulgences and the Catholic Church? We’ll answer these questions and more in this course on the sacrament of Penance.

    • What the sacramental seal is (why your confession is a secret)
    • Why you must confess your sins to a priest in person, and not over the phone or internet
