The Thomistic Institute at the University of Florida presents a lecture by Fr. Dominic Langevin, O.P. on the sacrament of confession titled “The Sacrament of Confession and Reconciliation: How Christ Forgives Christians’ Sins.”

Christians who sin need divine help to clean up the mess. Christ offers that help in the sacrament of confession and reconciliation. This talk will explore how Jesus created this sacrament that restores Christian friendship with God and our neighbors. It will also explain how Catholics can make better use of the sacrament.
