METANOIA
Catholic Confession
Turn Back to Grace
Your faithful companion for preparing and receiving the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
Examine your conscience. Open your heart. Receive His mercy.
"Come now, let us settle the matter," says the Lord.
"Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."
— Isaiah 1:18
The Father Waits
for You
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the greatest gifts Christ gave His Church — the assurance of forgiveness, the healing of the soul, and restoration to grace.
Yet many of us approach it with anxiety:
- What should I confess?
- What if I forget something during confession?
- I don't remember the prayers...
- It's been so long since my last confession...

"The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. He does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities."
