Some people think that the Church places too much emphasis on what everyone is doing wrong, rather than on what people are doing right. But is their criticism justified? Jesus came to bring us life in abundance (Jn. 10:10). Yet we all know from our own experience that we make mistakes and commit sins.
Fortunately Jesus does not remain fixated on our sins, and he desires whole-heartedly to forgive us. In order to prepare ourselves for the special meeting with Jesus in the Eucharist, we ask him for the forgiveness that we need again and again. He made this forgiveness possible for each of us through his death and resurrection. Please refer to the #DeoQuest app for the liturgy of the Sacrament of Reconciliation, and the standard texts of the Mass in several languages.
