because of hope in divine mercy. External acts of penance include fasting,
prayer, and almsgiving. The observance of certain penitential practices is
obliged by the fourth precept of the Church.

Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation, which consists in telling one's sins
to the priestly minister. By extension, the word confession is used to refer to
the Sacrament of Penance itself.

penitent's sins are forgiven.

consent of the will.

human beings disobeyed the commandment of God, choosing to follow their own
will rather than God's will. As a consequence they lost the grace of original
holiness, and became subject to the law of death; sin became universally present
in the world. Besides the personal sin of Adam and Eve, original sin describes
the fallen state of human nature which affects every person born into the
world, and from which Christ, the new Adam, came to redeem us.
9.
Venial Sin -Sin which does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as does
mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds it. Venial sin is the failure to
observe necessary moderation, in lesser matters of the moral law, or in grave
matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent.
