“God, the Father of mercies,
through the death and the
Resurrection of his Son has
reconciled the world to himself
and sent the Holy Spirit among us
for the forgiveness of sins; through
the ministry of the Church may
God give you pardon and peace,
and I absolve you from your sins in
the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” (CCC
1449)

While the priest says, “I absolve

you from your sins in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit. Amen,” make the
Sign of the Cross.
