I have a question before my First Confession in a few hours

[Poetess_Kera]

I’m not aware of any mortal sins, but there is a particular venial sin that is bugging me and I want to confess it. After I confess, everything up to that point is forgiven, as long as I’m truly sorry and I’m not intentionally withholding a mortal sin that needs to be confessed, right? I just want to make sure that when you commit a mortal sin, you know you committed a mortal sin and you also know you need to confess it. I’ve been receiving Communion since this sin; I’d just like to take it to God in the sacrament for extra graces.

I’m going on a vacation with my family tomorrow, and I want to scrub the little marks off my soul first. I just want to make sure I’m doing it right.

Hey, yes your right.

A mortal sin has to have 3 conditions at the same time to be a mortal sin:

1. it has to be grave matter
2. the sin has to be commited with full knowledge and knowing the gravity of the offense
3. complete constent.

so basically, if u commited a mortal sin, 100% you will know about it, you can’t accidently commit a mortal sin because u have to meet all 3 conditions in order for it to qualify has being a mortal sin.

I’m 100% sure of this, and don’t listen to any contradictions from anyone

Good luck and im going confession tommorow also

Thank you very much. I was pretty sure, but I wanted to make extra sure so I could be at peace with my clean slate.

I hope you receive many graces from your Confession!
