E Actual Sin
Original Sin is not the only kind of sin
There is another kind called Actual Sin
Which we ourselves commit
Actual Sin is any willfull thought
Desire
Word
Action
Or omission
Forbidden by the law of Eternal God
There are 2 kinds of Actual Sin
Mortal Sin
And Venial Sin
Mortal Sin is a grievous offense against the law of Eternal God
It is a grievous offense because it takes away the life of the soul
A serious or mortal sin drives our Divine Lord out of life of the one who commits it
Little boys and girls are not usually in danger of committing Mortal Sins
And if they commit venial sin on purpose when they are small
And do not try to avoid them
They will commit big sins when they grow up
To make a sin mortal these 3 things are necessary
1st the thought
Desire
Word
Action
Or Omission must be seriously wrong
Or considered seriously wrong
2nd the sinner must know it is seriously wrong
3rd the sinner must fully consent to it
Venial Sin is less serious offense against the law of Eternal God
Some Venial sins are deliberate
This means they are committed through fear
Or without thinking
If we are sorry afterwards
And do our best to improve
Our Divine Lord is pleased
A sin can be Venial in 2 ways slightly wrong
1st when the evil done is not seriously wrong
2nd When the evil done is seriously wrong
But the sinner sincerely believes it is only slightly wrong
Or does not give full consent to it
