What is the difference between mortal sin and venial sin?

Someone commits a mortal sin when it involves a serious matter, the person has full knowledge of what was done, and that there was deliberate consent. Mortal sin destroys charity in us, deprives us of sanctifying grace, and if unrepented, leads to eternal death. It can be forgiven in the ordinary way by means of the sacraments of Baptism and of Penance or Reconciliation.

Someone commits a venial sin when it involves less serious matter than in the case of a mortal sin, or when the full knowledge, or complete consent of what was being done is absent. it does not break the covenant with God but rather weakens charity and manifests a disordered affection for created goods. It slows down progress of the soul in the exercise of the virtues and in the practice of moral good. It merits temporal punishment which purifies.

YEAR OF FAITH CORNER

 

At the Last Supper with his apostles on the eve of his passion Jesus anticipated, that is, both symbolized his free self-offering and made it really present: “This is my Body which is given for you” (Luke 22:19), “This is my Blood which is poured out...” (Matthew 26:28) Thus he both instituted the Eucharist as the “memorial” (1 Corinthians 11:25) of his sacrifice and instituted his apostles as priests of the new covenant.

Nicene Creed

 

I believe in one God,

the Father almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

 

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God,

born of the Father before all ages.

 

God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God,

begotten, not made,

consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made.

 

For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven,

and by the Holy Spirit

was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.

 

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,

he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day

in accordance with the Scriptures.

 

He ascended into heaven and is seated

at the right hand of the Father.

 

He will come again in glory

to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end.

 

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord,

the giver of life, who proceeds

from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son

is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets.

 

And one, holy, catholic

and apostolic Church.

 

I confess one baptism

for the forgiveness of sins

and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

 

Amen.

Reverence For Mass

We are losing that sense of reverence for the Holy Eucharist by the way we rush in and out of Mass, the way we dress for Mass, the use of cell phones during Mass, among other things. Do you agree?
