This is my first thread. I’d like to thank all those who have posted questions and testimonies about their struggles with mortal sin. I’ve recently come back to the Church, and a lot of these discussions have given me both hope and courage in my own war against earthly desires. It takes a lot of bravery and humility to not only admit to a mortal sin, but to seek help in the struggle against it. The sacrament of reconciliation is, of course, the most important weapon in this battle, but I feel it takes extra strength to extend this confidence with our brothers and sisters, rather than let pride keep us chained to the shackles of loneliness, an emotional state that leaves us considerably vulnerable. I admire this humility. It is truly a gift of grace given by God. I hope to one day experience this strength. Until then, I thank all those who have been honest and served as an example for the mercy and strength our Lord provides us in our daily lives.
