Explanation: When your sins committed against God are absolved.
My experience with Reconciliation: The first time i went to reconciliation I was prepared. As soon as I stepped through the doors everything I was supposed to do, I completely forgot. I sat down with the priest and struggled my way through the sacrament trying not to mess up. At the end of the sacrament the priest gave me my penance and I sat in the church completing my penance.
Reconciliation Times and days offered at my Church: Saturday, in between masses.
Examine of conscience: Prayerful self-reflection,(Done in preparation for Reconciliation)
Form: "I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
Minister: Bishop or Priest
Matter: The verbal confession of sins
