mortal sin mortal sin

"mortal sin - a sin that leads to destruction of the soul. Those remaining in the mortal sin is spiritual death. For Christians, the following sins - mortal sins: heresy [heresy], schism [split from the Church], blasphemy, Gottesabtrünnigkeit, magic, despair, suicide, fornication, adultery [literally: incest.] Unnatural sexual behavior, incest, drunkenness, sacrilege [from the Latin = sacrilege sacrilege, crimes against Holy], homicide, robbery, theft and every evil inhuman Crime. Only one sin is not subject to healing - suicide. When man commits the alleged sins, he offends against his own soul, and deprived of the blessed eternity. But he can clean through a sincere repentance. " (Translation: Ignatius Bryanchaninov)

Why despair?
Because of that, the desperate, does not trust the divine will. Because the despair is the precursor of suicide.

What is heresy?
Someone tried his own opinion as the opinion of the church present.

blasphemy?
Christ said that the worst that can happen to a man, the blasphemy is against the Holy Spirit. Hmm, is as a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Quite simply, if man does not listen to his conscience, or if the person in view of the fact that the truth is before his eyes, denied the truth and chooses to malice.

Gottesabtrünnigkeit?
Today it is everywhere. People "go alien to God." They are his children, but they turn freely by her father, on their religion, to devote himself to the "exciting" experiences of this life: the satisfaction of physical needs. They live their passions to the full. What the law does not expressly prohibit is therefore allowed? Christ said, take care Do not care what you wear and will eat, but seeks rather to the heavenly kingdom, and all this will be given you. Of course we should earn our daily bread, but he also says that excessive concern for the food, clothes, etc. clouding our minds. Concern about these things away from God.

magic?
Yes, today there are witches and magic. It is not a fairy tale "Harry Potter and Co. says hello." Ever noticed in the newspaper? For what is most advertised: Singel searched, diet, Cosmetic Surgery, and then it begins: magic stones, card reading, "I bring back her lover," "When get their first child, "" The stars have shown, "horoscopes. Even the people who go to church are not even on. And that is a blow to the heart. You, who is she to the church and the Word of God hear, reject what is said, and turn to lower things, look to the past, Saul, the king of Israel, turned to the witch, and what happened to him then -. he made suicide (1 Kings 31) He is. to witness its become what suffers the soul of those that are (self-proclaimed magic, healer, clairvoyant, etc.) to these tools of the demons contact.

The Saint Ignatius has shown above, what is mortal sin. He listed the sins he failed mitzugeben us but not the cure for sin, as a careful and loving doctor. The remedy is repentance and conversion.
repentance and conversion, what is it?
example
A little boy, this boy could be any of us, not knowing what he was doing, took a day out of the box biscuits sweets. His mother noticed it, and made him aware of, "Look my child, if you take something without permission, so call it is theft!" The boy got his lesson.
And we have now. The Saint Ignatius has advised us of something. What? On the sin that corrupts our souls. And they say not for nothing: the first is the road to recovery Recognizing that you are doing something wrong. Thus, we showed the saint, as the careful mother from the example that we do something wrong. Consequently, we have detected something, and this is the first step. The first step in repentance is to understand. That is, we have recognized the sins, now we just have to still try to avoid these sins out of their way.
Repentance therefore requires the recognition that one is doing something wrong, that is sin, and repent. But where? Of course, in the - God! For he is the only one who listens to our prayers when we are in the filth of sin.
true story:
An astronaut once sat with his friends in a restaurant. The meeting was also a monk priest invited. The astronaut asked to sing and his friend the monk something (for info: there is almost no monks, who can not sing). The monk sang to it. The astronaut (an atheist) was touched by the measure. He informed everyone that the singing of the Monk made him remember the Startsequence in the space ship. He remembered how he, the unbeliever, was sitting in the cockpit of the spaceship, and the whole life went by like a movie in his head. He remembered God.
This story shows us two important things.
First, the evidence that even unbelievers know the danger of the death of God and cry unto him. And secondly, the sooner we cry from the filth of sin to God, the less the danger is that we have to fear from his throne. For if the unbelieving astronaut met afraid and thought, perhaps there is a God there. And if so, I would be ashamed, for I have not believed in him, and I'm not followed his instructions.
But we are through him smarter, and can now change our lives. This gives us God does not want the sinner perish, but that he be converted and live. Amen.
