Day 151. What is necessary to receive the grace of absolution?

Today is day 151 and we are studying The Sacrament of Absolution.

151. What is necessary to receive the grace of absolution?

Repentance, in which I intend to resist further sin, accept responsibility for my actions, and endeavor to repair damage I have caused; and faith, by which I thankfully receive God’s forgiveness. (1 Kings 8:46–53; Psalm 51; Daniel 9:1–23; Matthew 3:1–12; Romans 2:1–11; 2 Corinthians 7:5–13)

We will conclude today with The Concluding Prayer in Reconciliation of Penitents on page 224 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
