The Sacrament of Reconciliation is a sacrament of healing, not judgement. When we read the Bible and see how Jesus interacts with sinners, we are reminded that he did not meet them with condemnation but instead told them "Nor do I condemn you. Go forth and sin no more." Confession is our opportunity to receive that same grace from Jesus.
