During Lent we reflect on (and voluntarily take on) penance. What does that mean? Mother Church promotes penance as a sacrament by which sins committed after baptism are forgiven. In order to receive the sacrament of penance worthily, the Roman Catholic must: first, examine his conscience; second, be sorry for his sins; third, make up his mind not to sin again; fourth, confess his sins to a priest; and fifth, be willing to do the penance the priest gives him/her to do. Its important to note that this sacrament is a works-based means of gaining forgiveness of sins from God.
