  1. Lenten Reconciliation Christ invites us to respond to evil, first of all, with a serious examination of conscience and the commitment to purify our lives. We, as Catholics, should encourage and participate in the frequent reception of the sacrament of penance — especially during the season of Lent.

  2. As an example, following a practice promoted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops beginning in 2013, the Archdiocese of Hartford is offering weekly confessions to help prepare the faithful for the celebration of Easter. Beginning Feb. 23, on each Monday in Lent, parishes throughout the diocese will have priests available for confession from 6 to 7 p.m. For more information on the diocese’s program, visit www.archdioceseofhartford.org. Information is also available at www.light4you.info, a diocesan sponsored site that provides resources on reception of the sacrament. This is a practice that other parishes may wish to follow. To further assist members, their families and other Catholics in receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, the Knights of Columbus Supreme Council offers A Guide to Confession (#2075). This short pamphlet, written by Supreme Chaplain Archbishop William Lori of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, provides a concise description of the sacrament and offers preparatory steps to receiving reconciliation.

  3. The Knights of Columbus Catholic Information Service also offers the Luke E. Hart Series booklet Penance (#115). This booklet provides details on the Church’s understanding of sin and the sacrament of penance, and is available to read online. Additional copies may be ordered through the Catholic Information Service at kofc.org/cis. Article Source - http://www.freepressindex.com/lenten-reconciliation-595060.html
