(On the Jubilee Year – Part 11)
“The Sacrament of Reconciliation and Indulgence”
The Church values very much
our prayers for those who have died. Such prayers are acts of intercession,
offered together with Christ, who unites all of us in His love. During the Holy
Year, indulgences can also be offered for the souls of the departed in a
special way through the power of prayer.
In the Sacrament of
Reconciliation, God promises to forgive our sins completely. Yet, as we know
from our own experience, sin often leaves in us a kind of wound—a lingering
attachment to sin—from which we still need to be purified. After death, this
purification takes place in what we call Purgatory.
Through the indulgences of
the Holy Year, the wounds of sin that remain in the souls of the departed may
also be healed and taken away by God’s mercy.
