when some one dies and they say "Beg for Absolution" what does that mean?

Answer 1

Absolution is the forgiveness of sin OR as I understand it, of all things that weigh down or weaken your spirit, such as will and all emotional/spiritual attachment to the world.

The will to live is strong because we fear death. If we die knowing our origin and that that origin has neither beginning nor end, then we know that death isn't the death of our being, but only the death of the body.

At the time when our bodies are ready to let go of us, we should embrace the going forth out and not focus on what we are leaving behind.

That's how I understand it.

Answer 2

They are saying beg for God's forgiveness of their sins.

Answer 3

I believe the spirit of "Beg for Absolution" means accepting the mistakes we have done, accept that God loves you and wants to forgive you. He demands a relationship with His children, and relationships are about communication. He wants you to talk to Him and He wants a relationship with you.

Answer 4

Absolution is the forgiveness of sin.

Answer 6

Answer 7

It means to Absolve you of your sins..To forgive.

VI. THE SACRAMENT OF PENANCE AND RECONCILIATION

1440 Sin is before all else an offense against God, a rupture of communion with him. At the same time it damages communion with the Church. For this reason conversion entails both God's forgiveness and reconciliation with the Church, which are expressed and accomplished liturgically by the sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation.38

Only God forgives sin

1441 Only God forgives sins.39 Since he is the Son of God, Jesus says of himself, "The Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins" and exercises this divine power: "Your sins are forgiven."40 Further, by virtue of his divine authority he gives this power to men to exercise in his name.41

1442 Christ has willed that in her prayer and life and action his whole Church should be the sign and instrument of the forgiveness and reconciliation that he acquired for us at the price of his blood. But he entrusted the exercise of the power of absolution to the apostolic ministry which he charged with the "ministry of reconciliation."42 The apostle is sent out "on behalf of Christ" with "God making his appeal" through him and pleading: "Be reconciled to God."43

Reconciliation with the Church

1443 During his public life Jesus not only forgave sins, but also made plain the effect of this forgiveness: he reintegrated forgiven sinners into the community of the People of God from which sin had alienated or even excluded them. A remarkable sign of this is the fact that Jesus receives sinners at his table, a gesture that expresses in an astonishing way both God's forgiveness and the return to the bosom of the People of God.44

1444 In imparting to his apostles his own power to forgive sins the Lord also gives them the authority to reconcile sinners with the Church. This ecclesial dimension of their task is expressed most notably in Christ's solemn words to Simon Peter: "I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."45 "The office of binding and loosing which was given to Peter was also assigned to the college of the apostles united to its head."46

1445 The words bind and loose mean: whomever you exclude from your communion, will be excluded from communion with God; whomever you receive anew into your communion, God will welcome back into his. Reconciliation with the Church is inseparable from reconciliation with God.
