confession_n of_o venial_a sin_n as_o for_o venial_a sin_n the_o council_n of_o trent_n have_v give_v we_o two_o rule_n to_o follow_v the_o first_o be_v that_o to_o obtain_v the_o remission_n of_o

the_o council_n of_o trent_n give_v be_v because_o venial_a sin_n do_v not_o at_o all_o destroy_v sanctify_v grace_n and_o so_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a they_o shall_v come_v under_o the_o

be_v no_o necessity_n yet_o it_o be_v very_o profitable_a and_o wholesome_a to_o confess_v the_o venial_a sin_n for_o many_o reason_n 1._o because_o by_o the_o sacrament_n of_o penance_n they_o be_v

second_o thing_n to_o be_v observe_v be_v that_o when_o they_o confess_v venial_a sin_n they_o always_o conceive_v a_o sorrow_n for_o have_v commit_v they_o and_o make_v a_o resolution_n to_o amend_v
