In a homily on March 13, 2015, Pope Francis speaks of Penance, Reconciliation, and most of all, God’s love. As you prepare to potentially go to confession on Reconciliation Monday, take time to read his homily and open your heart to God’s mercy and love.
“The transformation of the heart that leads us to confess our sins is a gift from God.” — Pope Francis
