“Reconciliation, One ’Ohana” is a video which leads the viewer through the beauty of the Sacrament of Reconciliation with Bishop Larry Silva, local clergy and laity. It is available free online at catholichawaii.org/catholic-essentials/sacrament-videos/reconciliation-one-ohana/
Frequent participation in the Sacrament of Reconciliation is encouraged during Lent and throughout our lives. Jesus Christ, in his abundant love and mercy, established this sacrament so that we as sinners can obtain forgiveness and reconcile with God and the church. The sacrament cleanses and renews us in Christ.
Facilitator resources for the video are also available. These include:
- A “Reconciliation Service” (booklet) which integrates the video into a meaningful prayer experience.
- A “Confession Guide” (tri-fold pamphlet) to be read post-viewing and before confession.
Use this resource often as part of your adult faith formation program. May we come to know more deeply God’s love, forgiveness, healing and transformation.
