| Reconciliation of a Penitent Digital image |
Artist Statement: The rite of Reconciliation takes utter surrender. Not enough to be sorry, although that is important. In the words of the Psalmist: “ I sinned against you alone.” In other words, this is nobody’s fault but mine. For me, the sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the most powerful of all the sacraments. It binds the sinner and the forgiver in a beautiful way, and often both are moved to tears.
