By which sins committed after Baptism are forgiven
The fruits of this sacrament are:
-
Reconciliation with God: The penitent recovers
sanctifying grace.
-
Reconciliation with the Church.
-
Remission of the eternal punishment incurred by
mortal sins.
-
Remission, at least in part, of temporal punishments
resulting from sin.
-
Peace and serenity of conscience, and spiritual
consolation.
-
An increase of spiritual strength for the Christian
battle.
What is Mortal Sin?
What is Venial Sin?
"One commits venial sin when, in a less serious matter, he does not
observe the standard prescribed by the moral law or when he disobeys
the moral law in a grave matter, but without full knowledge or
without complete consent." "Venial sin allows charity to subsist
even though it offends and wounds it."
