Answer 1

There is a simple solution: go to Confession.



If you're worried that you're in a state of mortal sin, then go to Confession. It's not a terrible thing to attend Mass without receiving Communion (you used to do it all the time, as a child). If you're worried about standing out if you don't go up for Communion, then go up for a blessing. Don't receive Communion if you're worried that you're in a state of mortal sin.



But as soon as you've been to Confession and Confessed it, then you're free to receive Communion again. Are there Confessions at your church tomorrow? You could check the newsletter, or the parish website. If you went to Confession tomorrow, you could receive Communion on Sunday.



Honestly, we can't tell you for certain if this was or wasn't a mortal sin, because that depends on how you viewed it. I can tell you that I've been there, especially when I was younger. I can tell you that the priest has heard much worse Confessions. I can tell you that this is an excellent dry-run for when you do something worse when you're older, and following through properly this time will make it easier to do the right thing in future.



:) Go to Confession, and let God's peace flow into you.

Answer 2

< communion this Sunday>>



True, a person in a state of mortal sin cannot receive Holy Communion until said sin(s) has been absolved in Confession.



However, my guess is that you are not in a state of mortal sin. Either way, it would be good for you to go to confession regardless and be absolved.





< to get communion ??>>



See? I knew it. That was NOT a mortal sin!

Three conditions have to be met in order for a sin to be mortal:

1) the sin has to entail grave matter.

2) the sinner has to be aware that the sin entails grave matter.

3) the sinner commits the sin in full consent of the will regardless.



Since NOT all three conditions were met, under the circumstances as you illustrated them, your sin(s) are not mortal in nature. Still, you should confess regardless.

I'm Orthodox, but am somewhat familiar with Catholic theology. Yes, masturbation is a mortal sin. Go to confession and confess all sins, then you can receive communion.

a lie is considered a venial sin and murder considered a mortal sin, yet what one does' more harm to a person. lying about someone can ruin their lives'. with God there is no difference in one sin to another. the only thing you have to worry about is if anyone sees' you have looked at a dirty video on your computer. depending on how dirty it could be illegal.
