dc.description.abstractReconciliation means repairing the damaged or broken bonds of unity and friendship between God and man and between man and man on a personal and also on a communal basis. It is our conviction that man cannot be at peace with God unless he first be at peace with his fellow human being. The very concept of reconciliation presupposes the reality expression of broken communion. Reconciliation, in the biblical as well as common language, is understood as the effort towards mending this broken and distorted relationship and building up community and relationships afresh. "It is an invitation to return to one another. Reconciliation is necessary especially when there has been a breach in relationships for example, through alienation, violence, disruption or disordering of human relations and God." The foundational value of penitential spirituality is integral and to be continued. The penitential matter of penance is the openness to grow, to be shaped. Metanoia is not something we do, it is Gods generous gift. The administration of sacrament of reconciliation is the major part of the mission of the church.en_US
