What is the sacrament of penance?
Jesus came to earth to heal people's relationship with God. He came for sinners.
Penance is also known as the sacrament of healing or reconciliation. By completing penance, your sins are forgiven. Penance has the power to destroy mortal and venial sin, and restore charity and strength to a person.
The sacrament of penance is performed by a priest, who has the same forgiving powers as Jesus did. You can have penance an unlimited amount of times, unlike baptism.
