steadfast love for thousandth of generation, forgiving inequity and transgression and sin,
yet by no means clearing the guilty but visiting the inequity of the parents upon the
children and the children’s children, to the third and fourth generation. And Moses quickly
bowed his head towards the earth, and worshipped. He said, if now I have found favour in
your sight. O Lord, I pray, let the Lord go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people,
pardon and inequity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.

Every individual were

C. Explain and Elaborate asked to do good and aviod evil.
As an adolescent, we
Church Teaching understand that you are obliged
to follow God’s commandments
A. The Fall of Man of love, but somehow you also
The serpent tempted the woman, “you certainly not die, experience within you an
God knows well that the moment you eat of it your eyes will inclination to refuse love, you
be opened and you will be like God who knows what is good also experience within
and what is bad” (Gen. 3:4-5). Temptation is the attraction to yourselves attraction to sin like
sin and sin is falling for the devil’s temptation. The root of sinour first parents have done.
is pride. It is the inclination to be one’s own god, to admit of no
dependence of God.
God’s presence and love had been a source of joy for the man and woman. After doing the
sinful act (disobeying God’s command not to eat the fruit of a certain tree that grew in the garden),
Adam and Eve felt ashame and guilt. They realized that they were naked. They covered their
nakedness with clothing made of leaves. Their innocence was lost. Their intimacy with God was also
destroyed.

Page 2 of 7
 At the end of the narrative of the Fall, man and woman were expelled from the Garden of
Eden. They separated themselves from God. Sin has infected their relationship with God, with others,
and with nature.
Sin is the failure to love and it destroys relationships.
1. Two Kinds of Sin
a. Original sin: The sin we have inherit from our first parents (Adam and Eve)
b. Actual sin: An offense against our loving God, committed by any willful thought, desire, word,
action, or ommission forbiden by the law of God. Actual sin is divided into sin of commission and sin
of ommission that affects our communities. Sin of commision are things that you should not do but
you did anyway. Sin of ommission are things that you should do but you did not do.

- Two kinds of Actual Sin

- Mortal sin
- A greivous offense against our loving God, committed when one consciously and
freely, for whatever reason, chooses something seriously against God’s law. This
sin is called mortal because it deprives us of spiritual life, which is sanctifying
grace, and brings everlasting death and damnation on the soul. It was defined by
St. Augustine as an act or desire contrary to God’s law.
-Venial sin
- a slight offense against the law of God in matters of less importance, or in matters
of great importance it is an offense committed without sufficient reflection or full
consent of the will. It is pardonable, not eternal.

2. Capital Sins: These are called capital sins because they are the chief reasons for an idividual or
adolecsent to commit sin. These are the following:

a. Pride- exalting oneself beyond what is due and true.

b. Lust- disordered desire for, or inordinate enjoyment of sexual

pleasure.

c. Anger- destructive aggressiveness.

Page 3 of 7
d. Gluttony- excessive indulgence in food and drink.

e. Envy- begrudging others their talents, success, and wishing them evil.

f. Covetousness- desiring what belongs to others, leading to dishonesty,

stealing, and injustice.

g. Sloth- laziness and escape from exerting due effort.

C. The Sacrament of Reconcilliation

Every human being in nature is a sinner but God never cease to forgive with the hope that His
people will be with Him in paradise. Thus, His begotten child Jesus have instituted the sacraments to
continue His relationship to the people. As an adolescent, we are encourage to aviod sin and be firm
to our faith as we respond to God’s calling for holiness through this sacrament.
Sin is the failure to obey God’s commandment of love and it destroys relationships. It hurts our
relationship with ourselves, nature, others, and God. It weakens us and because of arrogance, we
become powerless because we are isolated from others and from God. Sin makes us feel pain and
removes us from the original blessing of joy and love. In the Sacrament of Reconcillation, we
recognize that we are refreshed a new, and after saying sorry, we want to change for the better and
start living a life of love. Being able to love again, we see life meaningfully.

1. Other Names of the Sacrament of Reconcilliation

a. Sacrament of Conversion – It makes Jesus present when one strays from God.
b. Sacrament of Penance – It consecrates the sinner’s personal and communal conversion.
c. Sacrament of Forgiveness – God grants the penitent pardon and peace by the preist’s
sacramental absolution.
d. Sacrament of Confession – It involves acknowledgement of sins or disclosure of evil deeds
to a priest where spiritual counseling or spiritual pieces of advice are given.

2. Effects of the Sacrament of Reconciliation

The effect of the Sacrament of Reconciliation is the restoration of God’s grace and joining with
His intimate friendship again. It also reconciles us with the Church because it repairs and restores our
communion with our brothers and sisters. Reconciliation reconnects us again in living the Kingdom of
God especially on the loving judgement of God. The spiritual effects are:
