Description
The Sacrament of First Reconciliation is an important moment in your child’s faith journey. Over the last few years at home and the community, as well as in school, your child has learned the importance of friendship, family bonds and trust. When there are misunderstandings, disagreements or wrong choices, your child has gradually learned how to mendt hose relationships, with good example, and is gradually learning the art of forgiving and being forgiven. This is a lifelong lesson.
As your child has grown in understanding, free will can allow personal choices about activities, preferences in food or style, and behaviour.Your child can choose to be kind or unkind; selfish or unselfish; loving or unloving. Making wrong choices or “sins” need to be healed and forgiven in order to be free from sin and grow in love.
The desire to do better and choose well helps your child to mature in relationships and learn to live a more joyful and happier life.It will be most helpful if you as the First Educators of your child can accompany on this important stage of the Faith Journey.
