September 18, 2013 : Reconciliation
“Blest are We” grade 4 chapter 14 pp.163-166, 168- 169
Fr. Dwight Schlaline visits us today.
Because there is sin in the world, we live on earth and someday we will die. But God provides us a way to save ourselves/our souls. In the Old Testament, they sacrificed an animal or food on an altar for a person’s sins. In the New Testament, Jesus is our sacrifice on the cross. We also offer the ”sacrifice of the Mass” for the forgiveness of sins.
We ask for God’s mercy for our wrongs in confession. Fr. Dwight is going to do an out loud confession with Mrs. McGinnis and teach us about reconciliation.
