ACTUAL SIN ACTUAL SIN - IS ANY WILLFUL THOUGHT, DESIRE, WORD, ACTION, OR OMISSION FORBIDDEN BY THE LAW OF GOD. 1. THERE ARE TWO GENERAL CLASSES OF SINS: ORIGINAL AND ACTUAL. ORIGINAL SIN IS THE KIND OF SIN THAT WE INHERIT FROM ADAM. ACTUAL SIN IS THE KIND OF SIN THAT WE OURSELVES COMMIT.
IN WHAT MAY DO WE FALL INTO SIN? -We WE fall step by step from temptation into sin.  1. Sin is not committed without temptation. First as evil thought comes into the mind. This in itself is not sinful, it is only a temptation.  2. If we do not immediately reject the thought, it awakens in the mind an affection of liking of it.  3. The thought is followed by an evil desire in which we take pleasure.  4. The resolution to commit the sin when occasion presents itself follows. Then the exterior act committed.
Why is an EXTERIOR SIN more evil than an INTERIOR SIN? -An exterior sin is more evil than an interior sin because it is attended by worse consequences.  1. An exterior sin often causes scandal, and is therefore severely punished by God here on earth as well as after death.  2. And worse, an exterior sin increases the malice of the will and destroys the will of shame.
There are two kinds of actual sin: MORTAL SIN and VENIAL SIN. When we commit them by thought, desire, word, deep, or omission. WHAT IS MORTAL SIN? -Mortal sin is a grievous offense against the law of God.  1. Any willful thought, desire, word, action or omission, in serious violation of God’s law is a mortal sin. (Every word is important)  2. Mortal sin occurs as soon as God is no longer our final end in our thoughts words and actions. Each mortal sin we commit is a three-fold insult to God: it insults Him by rebellion or disobedience, by ingratitude, and by contemp.  3. Circumstances of person, causes, time, place, means, objects, and evil consequences enhance or decrease the guilt of the sin.
WHY IS THE SIN CALLED MORTAL? -This sin is called mortal or deadly because it deprives the sinner of sanctifying grace, the supernatural life of the soul.  1. Without sanctifying grace, the soul is displeasing to God, unclean and can never behold Him in heaven. Without sanctifying grace, the soul is without God: and without God, the devil makes the soul its home.  2. The soul loses charity towards God and his fellow men, and by weakening of his will and the darkening of his intellect, is liable to fall into another mortal sins.  3. Without sanctifying grace, the soul loses the friendship of God; and if an adult dies in that state, he will suffer the torments of hell. (The world mortal comes from the Latin word MORS which means death).  4. Mortal sin, besides depriving the sinner of sanctifying grace, a.) makes the soul an enemy of God; b.) takes away all the merits of his good actions; c.) deprives it of the right to everlasting happiness in heaven d.) and makes it deserving of the everlasting punishment in hell.
WHAT MAKES A SIN MORTAL?  1. The thought, desire, word, action, or omission must be SERIOUSLY WRONG_HE MATTER MUST BE GRAVE.  2. The sinner must be mindful of the serious wrong – he must have FULL KNOWLEDGE and reflection or attention, and know that what he is doing is grievous.  3. The sinner must fully CONSENT to it. He must do it of HIS OWN FREE WILL, saying deliberately, “I will do this”.
IS MORTAL SIN A GREAT EVIL? -Mortal sin is a great evil, the greatest evil in the world, a greater evil than the disease of poverty, because it separates us from God. WHAT IS A VENIAL SIN? -A venial sin is a less offense against the law of God, which does not deprive the soul of sanctifying grace, and which can be pardoned even without sacramental confession.
. 1. A sin can be venial in two ways:  a.) When the evil done is not seriously wrong. If we sin against God in matters of slight importance, we  b.) When the evil done is seriously wrong, but the sinner sincerely believes that it is only slightly wrong, or does it on the spur of the moment, without sufficient reflection or without full consent of the will. 2. The word “VENIAL” comes from the Latin word “VENLALIS”, meaning easily pardoned. Even the most just of mortals fall into venial sin and again. God permits to keep them humble.
3. If a person is in the state of grace, venial sin are forgiven in many ways without necessity of confession. Provided one has sorrow and sincere resolution not to commit the sin again, they are forgiven not only by confession, but also by Holy Communion, by acts of contrition, prayer, good works, ect. 4. A distinction exists between venial sins and imperfections. Imperfections are faults that arise from ignorance or weakness, not from a bad will.
HOW DOES VENIAL SIN HARM US? -Venial sin harms us by making us less fervent in the service of God, bea weakening our power to resist mortal sin, and by making us deserving of God’s punishment in this life or in purgatory. 1. Although venial sin is not grievous offense against God, it is nevertheless a great moral evil, next alone to mortal sin. It is like a drop of ink in a glassful of water, the ink, however little, takes away the clearness. 2. If often committed, venial sin weakness the will lessens our power to resist the evil and makes it easier for us to fall into mortal sin. 3. Venial sin deprives us of many actual graces we need for resisting temptation. 4. Venial sin deprives us of heaven for a time. If we die with venial sins on our soul or without fully satisfied them, we have to expiate for them in purgatory. 5. A great desire not to offend God in the least is the best proof of love and loyalty towards our heavenly Father.
HOW CAN WE KEEP FROM COMMITTING SIN? -We can keep from committing sin by praying and by receiving the sacraments, by remembering that God is always with us, by recalling that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, by keeping occupied with work or play, by PROMPTLY RESISTING the source of sin within us, by avoiding the near occasions of sin. 1. Prayer and sacraments, especially the sacrifice of the mass with the Holy Communion, protects us from sin. 2. Even good people fall into sins, frequently because they forget God’s presence. 3. When we are in the state of grace, our bodies is the temple of the Holy Spirit. God dwells in our body as Jesus Christ lives in the tabernacle. If we remember this always, we shall be greatly helped in avoiding sin. 4. The most practical way of avoiding sin is to keep occupied with work and play.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON OCCASIONS OF SIN?  1. BAD COMPANIONS  2. BAD NEWSPAPER AND MAGAZINES  3. BAD BOOKS  4.MOTION PICTURES, RADIO, TELEVISION, AND INTERNET
HOW SHOULD WE ACTS TOWARDS OCCASIONS OF SIN? -We should never seek, and always try to avoid occasions of sin.  1. It is wrong to voluntarily seek the occasions of sins.  2. We must avoid occasions of sin as soon as we perceive them. If one goes to the theater and sees that the play is an indecent one, he must stand up and leave.
WHAT ARE THE CHIEF SOURCES OF ACTUAL SINS? -The chief source of actual sin are PRIDE, ENVY, GLUTTONY, SLOTH, LUST, AVARICE, WRATH (Peg’s Law) and these are commonly called CAPITAL SINS. They are called capital sins, from the Latin word CAPUT, which means head, because they are the heads or sources of sins.  1. They are called capital sins, not because they are the greatest sins in themselves, but because they are the chief reasons why men commit sins. They are the origins of every sins.  2. These sins are called vices, because they produce permanent disorders in the soul. They are seven fatal diseases of the soul, which end in death.
