Sin help

[seanom]

So today I was in the bathrooms at school and overheard a conversation between someone I know and someone else. I may have misheard what one of them was saying but it sounded like they were talking about some sexual act. I am scrupulous, but I didn’t say anything, instead I prayed for the person that the Lord would touch their heart. I didn’t want to go up to that person and tell them that it was sinful etc, they may have gotten defensive and hostile. I also didn’t know the person well enough to say he was my friend. Did I commit a mortal sin by not admonishing??

No, you did not commit a mortal sin.

No sin. And I believe you did the right thing.

Saint Therese of Lisieux said that doing prayer and sacrifice for others are far more effective then words.

Be proud of you, you have done the right thing!

No sin at all.

It is not a sin given the situation. Sometimes prudence and wisdom play a part in our action. But you can always take note and perhaps when opportunity avail itself you can always give it a try to gently show what is right with regard to the subject.
