Lesson Vocabulary

  • Sin
    :
    A sin is something that we say, do, think, or fail to do that does not love God, our neighbor, or ourselves, as God has taught us.
  • Pride
    :
    Pride is the belief that what we want is better than what God wants for us. It is at the root of all sin.
  • Venial Sin
    :
    (n.): Less serious sin that hurts our relationship with God, but does not destroy it.
  • Mortal Sin
    :
    (n.): Serious sin we choose to commit even though we know it is wrong. Mortal sin completely separates us from God, destroys His divine life within us, and rejects His love for us.
  • Sin of Omission
    :
    Sins that result from not doing something we should do. It is a sin of omission when we do not help our neighbor in need.
