We pray through Lent on why the Mass begins with confession of sin, how Scripture frames that encounter with God, and what real repentance looks like. We explain the difference between venial and mortal sin and share simple practices that open us to mercy.
• opening prayers of Lent and their purpose
• meeting God and recognising personal sin
• why the Confiteor uses I not we
• moving from guilt to repentance and mission
• venial versus mortal sin and reception of Communion
• practices that dispose the soul to forgiveness
• brief examen and concrete amendment in daily life
