The sacrament of Reconciliation forgives the sins of the baptized person committed after Baptism. It reconciles us with the Church. Christ instituted the sacrament of Reconciliation on Easter Sunday evening when he breathed on the Apostles and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.” (John 20:22-23)
