LEARNING ABOUT THE MASS WITH KATH AND QUMEN
INTRODUCTORY RITES: THE PENITENTIAL ACT
This time in the Mass offers us an opportunity to prepare to receive Eucharist by reflecting on the things that we might have done, or not done, during the past week for which we need forgiveness.
We are reminded that God always loves us. One of the ways in which God shows this love is by always forgiving us for those times when we haven’t been as good as we might have been. Sometimes the priest may replace
the Penitential Act with the blessing and sprinkling of water as a reminder
of our Baptism.
