Still with grace?

[chinie19]

When we commit a mortal sin we lose our state of grace. What would be what leads us to keep on praying, doing good deeds and repent from what we did?

 

[ServusHumilis]

The desire to obtain eternal life.

 

[Latinitas]

When we commit a mortal sin we lose our state of grace. What would be what leads us to keep on praying, doing good deeds and repent from what we did?

If I commit a mortal sin, I lose sanctifying, or habitual, grace, not all grace, whereas prayer, repentence and other good deeds are done with the help of actual grace.

It is not necessary to be in a state of sanctifying grace to do an action with actual grace.

I hope this was helpful,
Benedicat Deus,
