This issue of Catholic Update examines the history of the Sacrament of Reconciliation all the way from Jesus' time to the reforms of Vatican II, and reviews the different forms the sacrament may take: devotional confession; spiritual direction; Bible service followed by Confession; and celebrating the mercy of God. It asks the question, "What is the most important part of the sacrament?" Fr. Richstatter writes, "Reconciliation is still celebrated in a number of different ways, and each has its merits. But however you celebrate the sacrament, remember the most important thing: 'what Jesus does.' "
