In this lesson your children explore the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation. In this Sacrament, our sins are forgiven and we are reconciled to God and His Church through the confession of those sins and acts of penance. We are also strengthened by this Sacrament to avoid sin in the future.
The aim of this lesson is for your children to understand that God is merciful. Your children will be able to explain the “special grace” from God that we receive during the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. They will also see the relationship between Jesus’ healing and the Church’s continuation of this healing through the sacrament.
In this lesson your children explore the gateway to the Christian life: Baptism. In Baptism, your children were cleansed of the stain of Original Sin and became part of God’s family.
