Family Reflection Video: The Colors in Forgiveness

Bring the joy and color back into your life in a peaceful, grace-filled, and forgiving church.

There are lots of us who are lapsed in regularly going to Reconciliation. Our spiritual lives become glazed in a bland grey as we miss out on its wonderful gift. Embrace the grace of this sacrament and experience the power it has to enhance and brighten up our lives!

It’s important for us to ask for and give forgiveness, especially during this Lenten season. Discuss with your family how this merciful sacrament can bring you joy, freeing whatever weighs you down. If you and your family haven’t been to Reconciliation in a while, don’t be nervous! Jesus is always with you.

I’ll close with a verse from Joel 2:12-13, "Even now, says the Lord, return to me with your whole heart; for I am gracious and merciful." God bless you and your family.
