Sacrament of Reconciliation: Explained

Ok folks, it's Lent tomorrow.  No fooling here.  Get thee to a confessional!

We have the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance, Confession) to help us in our Christian journey.  I know that I have readers who are Catholic and those who are not, so here is a good YouTube video that explains in just six minutes some of the essential ideas behind this sacrament, why we do it, and why we need it.

Catholics... pay attention, and remember what a wonderful gift this is.

Everyone else... isnt' this cool and biblical and such a sign of God's love that he so lovingly accommodates our human need to express our sorrow and hear authoritative words of absolution?  Without a doubt, God's grace and mercy cannot be confined or limited to the sacraments, but the sacraments are privileged ways of knowing God's enduring and faithful presence until the end of the age.
