Carlo Messina

THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION

An Account of Divine Mercy

Preface by Brother Mauro Billetta, OFM Cap.

Asking for forgiveness is an act that requires not only courage but also great trust, both in the recipient and in ourselves. An often overlooked and extremely challenging sacrament, reconciliation is an intimate and indispensable moment of Christian living, as it reconnects the soul to God, beginning with the admission of one’s own frailties and shortcomings. This book, which considers this sacrament not only from a biblical, historical, and liturgical perspective, but above all from an anthropological and psychological one, restores the perception of confession to its proper meaning: an essential sharing of one’s vulnerability that allows for healing and inner liberation.

Carlo Messina (Palermo, 1984) is a religion teacher in high-school and the Basic Theological School of the Archdiocese of Palermo, where he teaches dogmatic theology and liturgy. He holds a degree in Philosophy of Language from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome and a degree in Sacred Theology from the Faculty of Theology of St. John the Evangelist in Palermo. For over fifteen years, he has dedicated himself to the dissemination of didactic material, with a particular focus on the theological and spiritual exploration of sacred texts.

Selling Points

• Young theologian capable of offering biblical and theological content through social media.

True strength lies in fragility: asking for forgiveness to be reconciled with God.
