Sin advice

[seanom]

Hi there, so I went to confession there a little while ago. I confessed and then while the priest was talking I decided to leave out confessing a sin, I then realized a few seconds later that it wasn’t a mortal sin and was absolved etc. Did I commit an invalid confession??

Don’t worry. In confeession you are only required to confess all mortal sins. You may conffess venial sins too if you want to do so.The absolution said by the priest frees you from all venial sins even if you did not confess them.

The key here is “did you think it was a mortal sin when you withheld it?”
