It can be said that the entire Christian faith is built on forgiveness. Jesus came to reconcile us to the Father and forgive our sins (2 Cor 5:18). We are called to forgive others who sinned against us (Matt 6:12). And we are called to ask forgiveness of those we have hurt (Matt 5:25). Forgiveness and reconciliation are central to our faith.

We want you to experience the joy of forgiveness by going to confession this Advent, and by actively forgiving others who have hurt you by praying for them.
