  • COMMUNION: It is an act where the citizens receive the Eurocaristy, to receive a communion it is necessary to be Catholic and to have received the Baptism, then it is necessary to receive a catechesis, and finally to have done the penance. Some sins like homicide can only receive the forgiveness of the Holy God

The God


Fuente 



Christianity was the first religion to conceive God as a kind of guardian that is outside the world, which observes your actions from above and with which he engages direct communication on certain occasions after prayers. In general, God is considered as omnipresent (he is everywhere), omnipotent (he can do everything) and omniscient (he knows everything). According to religion, it receives different names, such as Allah (Islam) or Yahweh (Judaism).
