INTRODUCTION: Wow! Great job on Lesson 2!! Can you believe that we are already on our 3rd Lesson? Which means that when this lesson is done, we are halfway through our Reconciliation Sacrament prep program. So far, we have been preparing for your first celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation by exploring how the commandments and Jesus' teachings ask us to grow as a person. We have talked about loving and unloving actions and thought of loving ways to solve problems. We have also begun exploring one by one the Ten Commandments which are God's rules, or loving guidelines, for living a safe and happy life. By following the Commandments, we grow closer to God and to one another. We have also started to break down exactly what Reconciliation is and understanding that the Sacrament of Reconciliation gives us forgiveness of our sins and fills our souls with God's graces. Through Reconciliation we also share God's great love for us by forgiving others as Jesus has forgiven you! Now, we are ready to learn even more! So, let's get started.
