Thy sins are forgiven 1940 .txt text/plain 8059 427 69 Besides remitting the guilt of sin the sacrament of Penance also takes away the eternal punishment due to mortal sin and some measure of the temporal pun- ishment which ordinarily remains after sins, whether mortal or venial, have been forgiven. The purpose of the satisfaction is to help the person avoid sin in future and to atone for the debt of temporal punishment which remains even after sins have been forgiven and must be paid either in this life or in purgatory. cache/_003394126.txt txt/_003394126.txt
