Your child has now learned two ways that Catholics celebrate the
sacrament of Reconciliation. Help your child to
understand the things that are always part of the
sacrament of Reconciliation. Then use the following
activity to encourage your child to rejoice in God's
forgiveness.
A Reconciliation Cross
Help your child make a cross either from two small sticks tied with
yarn or string, or from heavy paper. Attach yarn or
string so that it can be hung around your child's neck
or in his or her room. Encourage your child to wear it
as you help him or her prepare to celebrate God's
forgiveness in Reconciliation.
Reconciliation at Home
Children learn about God's loving forgiveness from the experiences
of forgiveness and reconciliation they find in their
families. Make sure that your child knows in a tangible
way about God's love and forgiveness and what it means
to be forgiving and forgiven.
