>The Sacrament of First Reconciliation, also known as First Penance or First Confession, is a significant milestone in a Catholic's spiritual journey. It's typically received by children around the age of seven or eight, after they've reached the "age of reason" and can discern right from wrong.
This sacrament offers the gift of God's forgiveness and mercy, as the children confess their sins for the first time and receive absolution. It's an important step in preparing for their First Holy Communion. The act of confession encourages self-reflection, repentance, and the desire for reconciliation with God and the Church. Just as with First Communion and Confirmation, a thoughtful gift can serve as a meaningful reminder of this significant day and help get past any pre-confession jitters!
