Legal Obligations The 1983 Code of Canon Law puts in black and white the simple obligations for penance as a Catholic. Can. 1249 The divine law binds all the Christian faithful to do penance each in his or her own way. In order for all to be united among themselves by some common observance of penance, however, penitential days are prescribed on which the Christian faithful devote themselves in a special way to prayer, perform works of piety and charity, and deny themselves by fulfilling their own obligations more faithfully and especially by observing fast and abstinence, according to the norm of the following canons.

When do Catholics have to do this penance?

Can. 1250 The penitential days and times in the universal Church are every Friday of the whole year and the season of Lent. Catholics are called to do penance as individuals through-out their lives, but on Fridays and the whole season of Lent the faithful are united in a common observance of penance. Lenten penance is not just for the pious, but required of all Catholics.

CHAPTER TWO ~THE SACRAMENTS OF HEALING ARTICLE 4 ~ THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION 1422 "Those who approach the sacrament of Penance obtain pardon from God's mercy for the offense committed against him, and are, at the same time, reconciled with the Church which they have wounded by their sins and which by charity, by example, and by prayer labors for their conversion."4

I. WHAT IS THIS SACRAMENT CALLED?

1423 It is called the sacrament of conversion because it makes sacramentally present Jesus' call to conversion, the first step in returning to the Father5 from whom one has strayed by sin.

It is called the sacrament of Penance, since it consecrates the Christian sinner's personal and ecclesial steps of conversion, penance, and satisfaction.

1424 It is called the sacrament of confession, since the disclo-sure or confession of sins to a priest is an essential element of this sacrament. In a profound sense it is also a "confession" - acknowledgment and praise - of the holiness of God and of his mercy toward sinful man.

It is called the sacrament of forgiveness, since by the priest's sacramental absolution God grants the penitent "pardon and peace."6

It is called the sacrament of Reconciliation, because it imparts to the sinner the live of God who reconciles: "Be reconciled to God."7 He who lives by God's merciful love is ready to respond to the Lord's call: "Go; first be reconciled to your brother."8

Questions of the week: What is the Sacrament of

Penance and Reconciliation? Why do I need to go?

In praying the stations, we imagine ourselves walking with Jesus on this journey. We then link our reflection to whatever is going on in our lives today. On our journey we experience both joy, days of stress, and possibly terrible suffering

In Our Prayers

Saint of the Week

Saint Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Solemnity

March 19th is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, of the house of David. At the time of the

Annunciation, he was working as a carpenter

in Nazareth. He trusted his angelic vision, accepted Mary

as his wife, and dutifully traveled to Bethlehem for the

census. Later, he participated in the Presentation, led his

family safely into Egypt and when called, faithfully returned

to Nazareth. In other words, his decisions were integral in

God’s plan for humanity and this holy man chose well. John Paul II honored Joseph in an exhortation entitled,

Redemptoris Custos (Guardian of the Redeemer). In it, he

discussed St. Joseph’s role in the plan of redemption and

states, “’The obedience of faith’ must be given to God as

he reveals himself. By this obedience of faith man freely

commits himself entirely to God, making ‘the full

submission of his intellect and will to God who reveals,’

and willingly assenting to the revelation given by him.’ This

statement, which touches the very essence of faith, is

perfectly applicable to Joseph of Nazareth.”[1][2][3]
