I was thinking about when does a venial sin end and when does a mortal sin begin? What is the fine line between both. We truly don’t know.  I came to the conclusion that the tiniest sin, we need to be aware of it, because it could dig roots in and become a bigger one. Which brings to this other conclusion: we are all sinners.  |

I think that is what a properly formed conscience is for. The problem these days is that a 'properly formed conscience' has become an individual thing to the point where sin is not a sin anymore in the first place.

Being aware of our tiniest sins is good to understand what is sin and may help learning more about ourselves and developing barriers, ways and means to become better and saintier… without becoming scrupulous. Then knowing that God is the one who can help us give him whatever sin we did.
God is the only one who can heal us.

Well for a sin to be mortal, three conditions have to be met. The sin must be grave, done with full knowledge and done with free consent.
As I was told by my former confessor, this is a guideline and not infallible.
First off, full knowledge requires more than just being told that an act is a sin. The full understanding of what you're doing with the full
consent to it is required.
As I posted in another thread, the original definition of the word "sin," was to miss the mark. The analogy was given as an archer aiming to hit the target, but misses it. So it is with sin.
For the person of faith, we strive to hit our goal of living a life sin free, but we often miss the target. However, our faith has us reach out to our savior for help and compassion, which he always gives.

As soon as the world and devil teach You sin and give You what You want [sin], then sin begins more! We inherit the original sin from Adam's fall and ancestor.
Only few weeks old, You cry and scream to demand what You want and dishonor parents, like idols, You rob milks, toys or bite other babies around if hungry or dont have what You want; etc.
We live with original and root sin in our flesh since being born!

When you know it's against the ten commandments and is grave and do it anyway it's mortal.

More than that, no age limit. In my thoughts, in my words... What I have done and what I failed to do...
7 roots of deadly sins: anger, pride, greed, gluttony, lust, envy, sloth devils are stronger than us and are every where.
Full answer is: Simple life, fidelity stop pride, greed, gluttony, envy and sloth Patience, harmony, compassion stop anger faith, obedience, awareness, propriety stop lust

“Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for yourselves.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.” Matthew 11:28-30
For those reading this thread who see hopelessness, the above words of Jesus should help to comfort you.

2 Thessal 3:3 But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one.
Fatima message: Daily rosary, confession, take holy communion, keep Sabbath day holy.
Make sacrifices for sinners.” (Our Lady, August 19, 1917)
Hope it will take care of this:

We are all sinners and must confess even venial sins. I was taught a venial siñ casts a grey part on the soul mortal black.
The Holy Spirit cannot fully help on grey or black souls.
