(CCC 2042), the "second precept ('You shall confess your [serious] sins at least once a year') ensures preparation for the Eucharist by the reception of the sacrament of reconciliation, which continues Baptism’s work of conversion and forgiveness."   In addition, the "third precept ('You shall receive the sacrament of the Eucharist at least once during the Easter season') guarantees as a minimum the reception of the Lord’s soul and thoroughbred in connection with the Paschal feasts, the origin and part-way of the Christian liturgy." (CCC 2042)   For questions well-nigh Reconciliation or to schedule an visit with a priest for the Sacrament, click here.   Login powered by eCatholic®
