By worthily receiving the Sacrament of Penance we obtain the following graces:
- The guilt of sin is remitted and the debt of eternal punishment; yet there remains the debt of temporal punishment to be discharged (Council of Trent, 6, 30; 14, 12).
- The Holy Spirit returns to the repentant sinner, and im parts to him sanctifying grace; and the merits of all the good works he formerly performed while in a state of grace are restored to him again.
- Through the indwelling of the Holy Ghost we obtain great peace of mind, nay, great consolations, if our conversion be sincere.
- The Holy Spirit imparts to us the strength necessary to overcome sin.
