  • SACRAMENT OF PENANCE/RECONCILIATION - CONFESSION
    1857 For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must together be met: "Mortal sin is sin whose object is grave matter and which is also committed with full knowledge and deliberate consent.
     
    1866 Vices can be classified according to the virtues they oppose, or also be linked to the capital sins which Christian experience has distinguished, following St. John Cassian and St. Gregory the Great. They are called "capital" because they engender other sins, other vices. They are pride, avarice, envy, wrath, lust, gluttony, and sloth or acedia.
     
     
     
    O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
    and I detest all my sins because I dread the loss of Heaven and the pains of hell,
    But most of all because they have offended Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love.
    I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy grace,
    to confess my sins,
    to do penance,
    and to amend my life. Amen.
