Eucharist (Holy Communion)
The Eucharist (Holy Communion) can be received daily at Mass by Catholics who have prepared for and received First Holy Communion. Not all should necessarily receive Holy Communion at every Mass (cf. Receiving (or not receiving) the Eucharist at Mass).

Reconciliation (Confession)
After making an Examination of Conscience, Catholics receive this Sacrament from a priest who—in persona Christi (i.e., in the person of Christ / with authority given by Christ)—can absolve the sins confessed. Those who receive absolution can be absolutely certain that their sins have been forgiven by God.
