15:4-7, Luke 15: 11-32, John 20: 23
Purpose –
1. To achieve a healing experience direct from the Mystical Body of Christ, The Church,
our fellow Catholics. We have hurt our fellow Catholics and has probably asked
their forgiveness. Now we will ask forgiveness from the Mystical Body of Christ, The
Church.
2. To cleanse ourselves and to get rid of all that bitterness within us so that we can
experience new life.
Reconciliation is very different from forgiveness. Forgiveness focuses on what has
been done that is wrong. Reconciliation, on the other hand, focuses on the
relationship.

In what specific ways will you as a Catholic need to reconcile with your fellow
Catholics?
