Sacrament of Healing Reconciliation

A discussion on the first Sacrament of Healing, Reconciliation also called Confession and how this sacrament fits into the Catholic view of salvation.

Confession is how we repair our relationship with God from our sins. Baptism justifies us however when we sin after our baptism, we break the new and everlasting covenant Jesus made with us on the Cross. Confession is how we repair that relationship and reestablish the covenant with God.
