I think I was envious about my little brother doing well on a video game. When I started to play with him I wanted to throw little bombs and stuff to hurt his character. Was this a mortal sin?

Thank you
 
no for it to be mortal you had 2 have full consent and know its a sin

Hi,

It sounds like a case of sibling rivalry to me. I would mention it during your next confession, but we have all done similar things while growing up. Just be aware that he is your brother and you should try to love him (no matter how annoying he might get ha ha). Between you, you will most likely face more difficult obstacles than this during life and will need to love and support each other.

God bless
 
Yes, sibling rivalry does sound like it; however, what you have is a great opportunity to overcome some pride (that is taking advantage of being the older, bigger, more experienced of the two of you), and exhibiting some humility by telling your little brother how impressed you were by his skill in playing the game. I’m sure it will be received as a great compliment by him and it could be a blessing for you.
