All the commentators are right. Truth is not to give up, make little sacrifices and bigger ones along the way. Use the special grace of Lent and Advent as a special time of grace to overcome these things. It worked for me but took what seemed like countless years. Just stay humble and persevere .I think the Lord is often slow to respond because He teaches us humility in our weakness and how serious the sins are , and when it seems we have the strength to overcome temptations we think twice the next time because of how much mental and spiritual anguish/how much it cost us in the past, which is surely what we need to stop self destructive habits
Love the Lord with all your heart and your neighbor as yourself. If you love him, keep his commandments. Be a true disciple, take up your cross daily and follow him. Resist the devil and he will flee! Fight with the sword of truth!
But really……what type of mortal sin, there’s are difference of sin from missing Mass vs committing adultery or lying in court…..isn’t there. Even if you have committed mortal Sin (missing Mass) well still say the rosary which should help you prepare for confession.
BLESSED MOTHER MARY PLEASE INTERCEDE FOR US MISERABLE WEAK SINNERS. 🙏🙏🙏

Heck of a question. Truly. "I'm already in mortal sin, so what the heck...". Tough issue.
