Today’s reflection:

“Individual and integral confession and absolution constitute the only ordinary way by which the faithful person who is aware of serious sin is reconciled with God and with the Church.” — Code of Canon Law

Sometimes we need to look to the basics to give us guidance. In the Code of Canon Law, Book IV Function of the Church, the seriousness of the need for the sacrament of Reconciliation is explained.

To help the faithful observe Lent in the Diocese of Wilmington, this year’s annual Lenten Journey will focus on the theme of Reconciliation, in anticipation of Reconciliation Monday, April 11.
