RECONSTRUȚIA SINELUI PRIN TAINA POCĂINȚEI
THE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE SELF THROUGH THE SACRAMENT OF CONFESSION

Summary/Abstract: According to Christian anthropology, the self is the image of God in man. As a thinking being, man is a great creature, called to achieve the likeness of God through the knowledge of the self. But full knowledge can only be achieved in Christ. Without a profound relationship with God, man loses the consciousness of ontological plenitude, falling into the desolation of the soul and the loss of his own self. The reconstruction of the self of the man who has fallen into sin has been achieved objectively by Christ, through His incarnation and sacrifice on the cross, to which everyone is called to participate subjectively. The salvation of man from the bondage of passions and depressions can only be accomplished through frequent confession and Communion, through a life of endeavours, prayer, humility, love of God and of the fellow men.
