The Inner Life
Fr. Ramil Fajardo joins Patrick to discuss Sin * (3:16) What is Sin? * (13:14) what is the difference between a venial and a mortal sin? * (18:37) Sal - My wife passed 5 years ago. I'm thinking about sins we committed when we were ignorant of our Catholic Church. How many times should I be confessing that or should I sit 1 on 1 with a priest and get it all off my chest? (23:52) Break 1 * (25:42) Frank - Go to confession every 2 weeks. When priest absolves me, and ones I cannot remember...what about venial sins? I do forget some of them. Always saying prayers of contrition. * How can confession help us combat sin? (38:51) Break 2 * Email from someone in the state of unrepentant mortal sin. What should he do? * (47:23) Ann - I go to confession frequently but tend to confess the same sins because I'm not sure if the priest understands me. I can't break the habit.
