“Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both God’s forgiveness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accomplished liturgically by the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.”

“When we receive Holy Communion, we experience something extraordinary –
a joy, a fragrance, a well-being that thrills the whole body and causes it to exalt.”
