Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them;
Matthew xxvi. 40

One of the greatest gifts that our Good God has given unto us is the Sacrament of Penance (or Confession, or Reconciliation). Through the ministry of the Holy Church, our sins are forgiven.

The Manual has an extensive 30-page section on this wonderful holy Sacrament. Along with a description and explanation of the Sacrament, there are many prayers for both before and after confession, along with a very good examination of conscience.
