Sacraments of Healing

Sacrament of Penance: Also known as the sacrament of conversion, confession, forgiveness, or reconciliation.
It involves three parts: repentance/contrition, confession, and satisfaction

Confession: Acknowledging sins to a priest to receive absolution (forgiveness).
Satisfaction: Penance imposed by the priest to atone for sins. Receiving the sacrament involves a decision from the individual to receive absolution, forgive themselves & atone for their past behavior

Effects: Forgives mortal and venial sins, restores relationship with God and the Church, and removes the eternal punishment for mortal sins.
