And there is so much about the Sacrament of Penance/Reconciliation in The Catechism of the Catholic Church that I cannot post it all. Click on the link, then on contents, then on the Seven Sacraments, and you will find it under Sacraments of Healing.

Or you can click on the Search Engine and type in "Penance". Great resource.

Cute. How does one do that? :)

It is actually quite easy once you learn html. I will see if I can find an oldie thread that teaches about it.

The first thing you do to create an image is to "right-click" your mouse on the image--in this case the "big grin."

A box will pop up, and you click on the word "properties."

Then you cope the Address [url] of the link. In this case the address to the image is http://208.185.249.64/ubb/biggrin.gif.

Then when you go to post you type in this:

[img src=http://208.185.249.64/ubb/biggrin.gif

That is the first part. Then you have to add a height and width. I chose 15 for each. So:

.gif height=15 width=15]

It should look like this when finished, but instead of using [] for brackets use < >. I had to use [] because otherwise it won't show up on the thread when I post:

[img src=http://208.185.249.64/ubb/biggrin.gif height=15 width=15]

Finito!

Don't forget that you actualy use these < > brackets or your image won't show up! ;)

Here is an oldie thread that will help you out. Especially since I am not a good at html explanations!

html bootcamp...or How did they do that?

Show how to make links, images, color fonts...bunch of stuff. Have fun. ;)

It should look like this when finished, but instead of using [] for brackets use < >. I had to use [] because otherwise it won't show up on the thread when I post:

To get < and > to show up on displaying actual nyperlink/image code, use & lt(without the space) for < and & gt(again, without the space) for >.

As I recall, a sin is mortal when:

Truly said, Litany. The Pope, as I recall, goes to Confession twice weekly. Those whose spiritual acuity is illuminated by the Holy Spirit are able to see even the tiniest imperfections whereas the average Catholic goes to Confession about as often as a politician makes a truthful statement.I was planning to go to Confession today so this was a timely reminder.

I am "old school," and my A.O.C. goes "O, My God, I am heartily sorry for having offended thee and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of heaven and the pains of hell but most of all because they offend you my God who art all good and worthy of all my love. I firmly resolve, with the help of thy grace, to confess my sins to do penance and to ammend my life, amen."

For those of us who committ the same sin repeatedly, despite our efforts to reform, we are being led to face our total weakness and we are being led closer to Jesus and away from self sufficiency and self satisfaction and the Sanctifying Grace and actual Grace we receive in this Sacrament WILL led us on the narrow way, home to Heaven; even though we will stumble many more times carrying our Cross then Jesus did carrying His (although He was "modeling" what we must do).

The only thing I can, rightly, claim as my own are my sins.

Thanks, narses, for properly rephrasing the conditions. Amazing, though, the impact those nuns had on us in elementary school.

[JMJ333]

Thanks!

Absolutely beautiful! Already printed and saved.

Thank you very much.

Dear JMJ333,

The priest who said Mass today told us it was the Feast of St. John Vianney, the Curé of Ars! What a nice post just in time for his feast day.

Father gave a very short, very excellent homily on the value of the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

I am glad you both liked it. I have another thread on baptism and confirmation that goes along with this one and I will give you a ping. You might enjoy it.

A Lenten bump!
