The Church, sacrament of reconciliation
"The Church, sign and instrument of
the intimate union of God and men, of friendship of all mankind" says the
Council (Concilio) in "Light of the People".
The task of the Church
To announce reconciliation:
 |
In the midst of a conflictive society
|
 |
The society in which we live will
not end in CHAOS but in reconciliation. God the Father that accepts us.
|
Read Revelation 21, 3-4
 |
We will always have conflicts, but the destination is not
failure but reconciliation.
|
To ´put reconciliation into effect:
To give impulse to it, to make it
possible. TODAY, now it can be a reality in me.
Two great tasks:
 |
To live and to educate in the dynamics of COMMUNION |
Live as a brother of all men
 |
To promote dialogue |
Above all with words that construct
To celebrate reconciliation
 |
Announce, put into action and celebrate forgiveness: |
Three words so important in my life!
This is celebrated and made apparent in the
sacrament of reconciliation.
 |
I have in my hands the possibility to come to two
sources of LIVING WATER:
 |
Individual reconciliation with God |
 |
The Eucharist, which celebrates forgiveness and
promotes unity and charity. |
|
What does all this say to me?
 |
Write down some notes and recite the ending prayers.
