Reconciliation

"In the sacrament of reconciliation , the Christian faithful obtain from the mercy of God pardon for their sins. At the same time, they are reconciled with the Church, which they have wounded by their sins and which works for their conversion by charity, example and prayer" (Lumen Gentium, n.11)
