Reconciliation - Readiness Guidelines
Our children are all different. Their growth in each of these areas sometimes unfolds slowly. We invite them to grow and develop these abilities. This preparation program asks us to remember that the ability to recognize our faults and commend them to God’s love and mercy is situated in a firm belief of our own goodness. As family, we provide the environment for this recognition.

Your child should have an ability to:

• Distinguish right from wrong.
• Recognize the need for forgiveness and reconciliation.
• Express sorrow.
• Describe wrongdoings in their own words.
• Recognize the effect of their actions upon others.
• Take responsibility for these actions and their consequences.
• Trust in Jesus’ forgiving love.
