"In the sacrament of Penance, God extends his
forgiveness to us in a very personal way.Through the ministry of the priest, we come to our loving Savior with
the burden of our sins.We confess that
we have sinned against God and our neighbor.We manifest our sorrow and ask pardon from the Lord. Then, through the
priest, we hear Christ say to us: 'Your sins are forgiven' (Mark 2:5); 'Go, and
do not sin again' (John 8:11).Can we
not also hear him say to us as we are filled with his saving grace: 'Extend to
others seventy times seven, this same forgiveness and mercy?' "
