Theological definitions and roles in the sacrament.
The Sacrament of Reconciliation's essential matter includes the sins confessed by the penitent, which detail the faults needing forgiveness, and the form of absolution words spoken by the priest. The recipient is the penitent seeking God's mercy, while the minister is the priest acting in the person of Christ to grant absolution and reconciliation.
| Matter | Recipient and Minister |
|---|---|
| The essential matter of the Sacrament of Reconciliation consists of two parts: the sins confessed by the penitent, which identify the faults seeking forgiveness, and the form, embodied in the words of absolution pronounced by the priest. | The recipient is the penitent, the individual seeking God's forgiveness for their sins. The minister is the priest, who acts in persona Christi, representing Christ in granting absolution and reconciliation to the faithful. |
The slide "Roles Explained" outlines the essential elements of the Sacrament of Reconciliation in Catholic theology. It specifies the form as the priest's absolution invoking God's mercy, the matter as the penitent's admission of actual sins, the recipient as any baptized person seeking forgiveness, and the minister as an ordained priest with proper faculties.
The conclusion slide emphasizes that reconciliation restores divine communion, heals souls, and builds community, under the subtitle "Ongoing Peace and Grace."
