Confession Explained: Mortal vs. Venial Sin, Perfect Contrition & Real Conversion
Have you ever considered that a confession could become a sacrilege?
This in-depth video draws on the teachings of the Church, insights from spiritual masters like St. Teresa of Avila, and practical guidance from priests to uncover the essential truths about the Sacrament of Penance.
Confession is a serious matter
. It is a court of divine justice where a judgment is levied on the penitent and a sentence is given, bringing about justification and God's mercy. Jesus Christ granted men the power to forgive sins through the sacramental priesthood
.
In this video, we delve into why confession is necessary for salvation for those who fall into mortal sin after baptism
. We examine the terrifying warning received by St. Teresa of Avila, who saw souls condemned to hell not because they neglected the faith, but because they confessed badly
.
What You Will Learn:
• The Crucial Distinction: Understand the difference between mortal sin (which destroys sanctifying grace and leads to eternal separation from God if unforgiven) and venial sin
.
• The Heart of the Sacrament: Explore the two types of sorrow: Attrition (imperfect sorrow, usually based on fear of punishment) and Contrition (perfect sorrow, strictly because God was offended)
.
• The Six Essentials for a Valid Confession: Failure in any of these conditions can invalidate the confession
. Learn how to properly execute the necessary steps, including making a sincere and diligent examination of conscience
.
• The Danger of Sacrilege: A single mortal sin willfully concealed invalidates the confession and corrupts every confession made afterward
. Hiding a sin because of shame or pride transforms the remedy into poison
.
• Making an Entire Confession: Your confession must be humble, sincere, and entire
. This means confessing all mortal sins by kind (species), number, and relevant circumstances. You must be frank and direct, not vague or excusing your sins
.
• The Power of Grace: Confession is the Sacrament of Reconciliation and Penance
, and it is a means of coming closer to God. Frequent and regular confession, even of venial sins, gives you sacramental graces to specifically overcome struggles and resist temptation in the future
.
Confession is not magic; it requires truth and surrender
. Jesus died not so we could hide sin, but so we might have the courage to let him destroy it
.
If you feel too weak to change, beg God for strength
. Discover how to make a good confession—one that ensures your soul is truly reconciled with God and strengthened for the fight against sin!
