The Sacrament of Reconciliation Is the Greatest Thing That We Can Know

The key ingredient is we're all sinners, but we should always be willing to acknowledge our sinfulness. The Catholic notion of the sacrament of reconciliation isn't about putting people on a guilt trip. It's about recognizing that God's love and mercy is the greatest thing that we can know. We commit sins and then we try to justify that evil. As long as we can still call sin a sin, there's room for God in our lives. But when we trying to justify sinfulness is when God is booted out.
