What is the difference in term of remission of sins in the Eucharist and in confession?

If we partake of the sacrifice in the Mass and we are forgiven our sins then what is Confession for?

Thanks!

The Eucharist only forgives venial sins. If one is in a state of mortal sin, receiving the Eurcharist is yet another mortal sin, sacrilege, and forgive nothing.

Confession is required to forgive mortal sins, which should be mentioned in number and kind (e.g. I blasphemed twice…).

So is confession only required for mortal sins? Are their personal and psychological reasons for it as well? I heard Robert Sungenis say that he just went to confession before a show. Does that necessarily mean then that he committed a mortal sin? Could he just be doing it for other practical or spiritual reasons?

Thanks!
 
You have to confess all your sins that you can remember (intentionally leaving out any sins, especially mortal, will result in a sacriligous confession). And you don’t have to be in a state of mortal sin to go to confession. I go every week, sometimes every two, but I rarely have to confess mortal sins. By going to confession you receive graces, as with all seven of the sacraments. By frequently going to confession you’ll receive more graces, just as by going to Mass more often you’ll receive more graces.

It is only required for mortal sins, but many people like to confess venial sins as well, especially ones they struggle with.

Confession provides supernatural graces that help us avoid sin.
