Hi, Jason —

1. If you genuinely forget to confess the sin, then it's been forgiven.
2. If you omitted the sin on purpose then you've committed another sin by omitting it.
   That means none of the sins you confessed were forgiven.

John

Jason,

It is always good to confess the sin you forgot in your next Confession, particularly if it was a mortal sin.

I'm not exactly sure what the Church teaches on whether a sin like is conditionally forgiven, but
I personally wouldn't receive Communion until such a mortal sin, assuming I was conscious that it was a mortal sin, was confessed.

Peace,

Paul

Hi, Jason —

Thanks for the question.

If the sin you forgot is a mortal sin, yes, you have to go to Confession and mention it before receiving Holy Communion.

If you don't know what a mortal sin is, this posting should help you:

• Are having impure thoughts a mortal sin and should I go to Confession before going to Communion?

Hope this helps,

Mike
