Continually sinning mortally

[Guest :: Frank ::]

What are you supposed to do if you keep sinning mortally, and want to confess because:

-you know its the right thing to do;

-your guild is rooted in the rift created between you and God as a result;

-and ultimately are terrified of the thought that you might go straight to hell if you were to walk to your car and get hit by a truck before you went to confession;

-wonder whenther your reasons for confession are vallid and will attain for you forgiveness;

-know that grace to help lead a holy life but are afraid that it is an 'imperfict' act of contrition/ desire for resemption.

Gha! in so confused.

Perfect contrition is not necessary to receive forgiveness of sins in the confessional. Only imperfect contrition is necessary. However, you must make a firm resolution not to commit that sin again. The GREAT THING ABOUT IT ALL is that God [u]gives you the grace[/u] to avoid that sin [u]if[/u] you sincerely make that firm resolution. God is faithful. He will see you through your struggle.
