Growing in knowledge of my sins

[awyers]

As I grow in my faith and become closer to God I realize the gravity of my sins more and more. Lately things that I may have done in the past and didnt think were that bad are coming to my attention daily. I go to confession weekely and I was wondering, should I continue to confess the sins of my past even though I have been told that the sins of my past are forgiven and not to dwell in the past, to keep moving forward? If I didnt realize that some past action was actually sinful and therefore havent confessed it yet, shouldnt I confess them? I am a little concerned that I could become morbidly stuck in the past but I want to ensure that I have made amends for my past sinfulness. I think part of my problem may come from the fact that more I come to realize the enormity of God's love and sacrifice for us, the harder it is for me to truly accept the forgivness granted in the confessional

One may commit a sinful act and not have sinned.

Not because the act itself is different, but because something internal to that person mitigated their culpability.

In your case I would think that sins are comitted but what we called the culpability is reduced because of your lack of knowledge.
