On Saturday, December 5th, Emma received the sacrement First Reconciliation, which is celebration of God's forgiveness. Emma met with a priest and discussed her sins and she received her penance which was to say the Hail Mary three times.
A special thank you to Aunt Julie Zinser who called Emma and helped her prepare for Saturday. Emma wrote down her sins, crumpled the paper and then put the paper in the fire. It symbolized that when you confess, the sins are lifted up to God and then disappear. This really helped Emma feel comfortable.
