Meaning of absolution :
An essential part of the sacrament of Reconciliation where the priest, in the name of Christ and the Church, prays over the penitent (the person who is making a confession) and declares that their sins no longer have a hold on them. He uses the following words, “God the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son, has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins. Through the ministry of the Church, may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” The one making the confession responds “Amen” and blesses himself/herself as the priest makes the sign of the cross over them. Absolution is done in conjunction with the laying on of hands. The priest places his hands on the head or over the head of the penitent while praying this prayer.
