Reflection: What an amazing thing
Jesus has done for us. By His death on
the cross He has made those who give their lives to God “perfect forever.” Because of Jesus’ sacrifice our sins and our
evildoings will be remembered no more.
All we must do is follow the example of Jesus and obey the commands God
has given us.
Reflection
for Younger saints:
Through Jesus’ death on the cross our sins are remembered no more by God
and we are made perfect. Because of this
we can go to heaven. All we must do is
obey God and seek forgiveness in the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

remembered no more
Discussion
Starters:
Younger saints: What does it mean to be perfect? (We are free from sin.) What does it mean that our sins will be remembered no more? (That as long as we seek forgiveness for our sins through the Sacrament of Reconciliation, God will forgive us. We will not be punished for our sins.) How do we seek forgiveness for our sins? (Through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.)
Older saints: The idea that our sins will be remembered no more can be hard to comprehend. Because of our human nature we struggle to forgive others and to forgive ourselves. What does it mean to you to know that God has forgiven your sins? Have you forgiven yourself for your sins? Have you forgiven others for their sins against you? How can you work toward forgiveness?

Fun
Fact: Making the
Sign of the Cross with holy water reminds us of our own baptism and marks us as
followers of Christ.
