What Should I Do?

Recommended Posts

When I was little, before I was baptized( I was baptized like at 13) maybe when I was like 6 years old I stole this perfume from a guy, but I dont remember if I returned it, I think i did, but then I think i didnt. I moved from countries and I still can contact that guy but it's kind of awkward repaying him for that you know? What can I do to make restitution or because it was before my baptism is it forgiven and I dont have to repay it to him, or can I donate money to a charity instead? Or do I have to repay him, I dont even remember if I returned it or not. Also, I stole from my cousin once an action figure and I kind of I think that I sold her some cards for 20 dollars that were from yugioh, the expensive ones but I dont remember if they were real and I just wanted her money. Do I have to repay her and If I do can I just buy her a gift for christmas instead of making my parents pay for it? Would it be valid? Please respond.

I think you should be more worried about being scrupulous.

The code of canon law says:

TITLE I: BAPTISM (Cann. 849 - 878)
Can. 849 Baptism, the gateway to the sacraments, is necessary for salva-tion, either by actual reception or at least by desire. [b]By it people are freed from sins,[/b] are born again as children of God and, made like to Christ by an indelible character, are incorporated into the Church. It is validly conferred only by a washing in real water with the proper form of words.

So all sins before baptism are forgiven. If you cannot remember then there is doubt and if there is doubt then no sin.
