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

avoid_v mortal_a sin_n as_o well_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o grace_n which_o one_o receive_v by_o the_o sacrament_n as_o also_o because_o he_o that_o have_v a_o care_n to_o cleanse_v his_o soul_n from_o lesser_a sin_n will_v be_v more_o solicitous_a and_o apprehensive_a how_o he_o fall_v into_o great_a according_a to_o that_o sentence_n of_o our_o lord_n in_o modico_fw-la fidelis_fw-la in_o

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

for_o any_o of_o they_o the_o absolution_n will_v be_v null_a and_o such_o a_o person_n will_v commit_v a_o sacrilege_n by_o reason_n the_o sacrament_n will_v want_v one_o of_o its_o essential_a

will_v to_o amend_v our_o venial_a sin_n i_o speak_v of_o a_o real_a and_o sincere_a will_n which_o may_v be_v effectual_a and_o not_o of_o a_o perpetual_a relapse_n as_o it_o frequent_o fall_v out_o
