RELIGIOUS EDUCATION<br />

Confession <strong>of</strong> Sins Acceptance <strong>of</strong> Penance<br />

In the sacrament <strong>of</strong> reconciliation we celebrate God's f<strong>org</strong>iving<br />

love. We also rejoice that the community loves<br />

and accepts us despite our sin. After being welcomed by<br />

the priest, listening to the word <strong>of</strong> God, and examining<br />

our conscience, we confess our sins. Confession is a way<br />

the church has <strong>of</strong> saying we are loved, that we can come<br />

home. It is also a way to help us say that we are sorry.<br />

Confession reminds us how to live in Christ's way.<br />

Confession is always made in the light <strong>of</strong>. God's mercy.<br />

We talk with the priest in a conversational and clarifying<br />

way. Confession is not just a listing <strong>of</strong> sins, but rather a<br />

consideration <strong>of</strong> what we have done or failed to do. We<br />

also determine how we will change so we can live more<br />

fully as the family <strong>of</strong> God.<br />

When the community gathers to celebrate the rite, all say<br />

the Confiteor together (I confess to almighty God ...)' a<br />

general formula for confession. We also pray together the<br />

<strong>Our</strong> Father, the prayer <strong>of</strong> Jesus. In this prayer we ask for<br />

f<strong>org</strong>iveness. Both <strong>of</strong> these prayers, coming before the<br />

individual confession <strong>of</strong> sins, clearly remind us that we<br />

are a family, brothers and sisters who affect one another's<br />

lives by the way we live or fall to live gospel lives.<br />

Just as we try to make up and become friends again with<br />

someone we have hurt, so the priest—who represents the<br />

community and Christ—suggests an act <strong>of</strong> penance to<br />

make up for the past and help us begin a new life. This<br />

act <strong>of</strong> penance is sometimes a prayer, a service, or a work<br />

<strong>of</strong> mercy. All these things are signs <strong>of</strong> our sorrow and<br />

desire to walk again with God and God's people. These<br />

actions remind us that sin and f<strong>org</strong>iveness affect the entire<br />

community.<br />

• As a sign <strong>of</strong> these rites, the word sorry has been placed<br />

on the parish patchwork quilt.<br />

"The Blessed Virgin Mary..."<br />

The subject <strong>of</strong> this immunity from original sin is the person <strong>of</strong><br />

Mary at the moment <strong>of</strong> the creation <strong>of</strong> her soul and its infusion<br />

into her body.<br />

Sign <strong>of</strong> the Times<br />

As a little girl climbed onto Santa’s lap. Santa<br />

asked the usual, “And what would you like for<br />

Christmas?”<br />

The child stared at him for a minute, then<br />

gasped, “Didn’t you get my e-mail?”<br />

A woman went to the post <strong>of</strong>fice to buy<br />

stamps for her Christmas cards. “What denomination?”<br />

asked the clerk.<br />

“Oh, good heavens! Have we come to this?”<br />

said the woman. “Well, give me 30 Catholic ones, 10<br />

Baptist ones, 20 Lutherans and 40 Presbyterian.”<br />

Each year it seems there are more families in need<br />

<strong>of</strong> assistance. Thanks to the donations made both<br />

financially and with food donations we are able to<br />

continue this ministry.<br />

Thank you<br />

As Christmas approached, a young boy was<br />

praying upstairs while his mother sat beside him. His<br />

dad and grandmother were downstairs. “Lord, I pray<br />

for a train set, a remote-control car and a new bicycle!!!<br />

He proclaimed.<br />

“You don’t have to shout, dear,” said his<br />

mom. “God’s not deaf.”<br />

“I know,” said the boy. “But Grandma is.”

The Road Trip-A Travel Guide for Life’s Journey<br />

By Kathleen Graviano<br />

We all have a purpose in this life, but our purpose is not an end<br />

result. The journey from our first pitiful cry to our last breath<br />

and sigh— the challenging road trip that is life is what brings<br />

us excitement, meaning and lasting grace. In The Road Trip: A<br />

Travel Guide for Life’s Journey, teacher and author Kathleen<br />

Graviano, who is also Deacon Tony’s wife, shares the many<br />

lessons she has learned along life’s way and helps us discover<br />

the skills and attitudes to not only survive our journey but to<br />

actually enjoy the ride.<br />

The Road Trip is available at our religious store in the front <strong>of</strong><br />

the church. It is also available through your local bookseller or<br />

preferred on-line retailer such as Amazon or Barnes and Noble.<br />
