The article reflects on the possibilities of celebrating the liturgy of reconciliation of the entire Church community. The Roman Ordo Paenitentiae contains two forms of community celebration of the Liturgy of Reconciliation. It is a liturgically and theologically justified and appropriate form of sacramental reconciliation. Through the historical development and practice of individual local churches, I would like to evaluate the meaning and benefit of celebrating the community celebration of the Liturgy of Reconciliation. This question is still relevant, as evidenced by the celebration of this form of reconciliation during the COVID-19 pandemic. For many believers, the experience of individual confession is traumatic. This confession takes the form of an individual interview and not a renewed liturgy. It is important to realize how community celebration can lead to an understanding of the Church, which is a community seeking reconciliation and forgiveness.
