Omission

Sin is an offense against

reason, truth and right
conscience; it is failure
in genuine love for God
and neighbor by a
perverse attachment to
certain goods. (CCC 1849
[portion])

Sin is an offense
against GOD.
Like the first sin, it is
DISOBEDIENCE, a
revolt against GOD
through the will to
become like gods
(CCC 1850)

KINDS of SIN
MORTAL
VENIAL

You have heard that it

was said, You shall not
commit adultery. But I
say to you that everyone
who looks at a woman
with lust for her has
already committed
adultery with her in his
heart.
Matthew 5: 27-28

If you see any brother or sister

commit a sin that does not lead
to death, you should pray and
God will give them life. I refer
to those whose sin does not
lead to death. There is a sin
that leads to death. I am not
saying that you should pray
about that. All wrongdoing is
sin, and there is sin that does
not lead to death.
1 John 5: 16-17

EFFECTS OF
SIN

The Person
Becomes An
Agent Of The
Devil

The one who does

what is sinful is of
the devil, because
the devil has been
sinning from the
beginning. 1
John 3: 8

You belong to your father,

the devil, and you want to
carry out your fathers
desires. He was a murderer
from the beginning, not
holding to the truth, for there
is no truth in him. When he
lies, he speaks his native
language, for he is a liar and
the father of lies.
John 8: 44

REPENTANC
E
It is the antidote for
sin.
Sinners decision to
reject sin and reaccept Jesus back into

Sacrament
of
reconciliatio
n or penance

A whole consisting three

actions of the penitent
and the priest's
absolution. The penitent's
acts are repentance,
confession or disclosure
of sins to the priest, and
the intention to make
reparation and do works
of reparation. (CCC 1491)

Repentance (also called

contrition) must be
inspired by motives that
arise from faith. If
repentance arises from
love of charity for God, it is
called "perfect" contrition;
if it is founded on other
motives, it is called
"imperfect." (CCC 1492)
