Reconciliation

Our youngest is about to receive her First Communion this weekend, but before she does, her class has their First Confession, or the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

Not sure it was appropriate to take a picture, but I did.

Afterward, the parents greet the child as in the parable of the prodigal son.  We put a ring on their finger and a stoll around their neck to welcome them home with forgiveness.
