70x7 Forgiveness Pin  (R16716)

(Matthew 18:21-22).  Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven."

Forgiveness is closely associated with receiving Holy Communion because of Catholic belief one should not receive communion if they are guilty of sin.  In fact, all First Communicants must receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) before they can receive their First Holy Communion.
