Reconciliation or Penace: By which sins after Baptism are forgiven.
The fruits of this Sacrament are:
- Reconciliation with God: the penitent recovers sanctifying grace
- Reconciliation with the Church
- Remission of the eternal punishment incurred by mortal sins
- Remission, at least in part, of temporal punishments resulting from sin
- Peace and serenity of conscience, and spiritual consolation
- An increase in spiritual strength for the Christian battle
