Venial sin
According to Catholicism, a venial sin is a lesser sin that does not result in a complete separation from God and eternal damnation in Hell as an unrepented mortal sin would. A venial sin consists in acting as one should not, without the actual incompatibility with the state of grace that a mortal sin implies; they do not break one's friendship with God, but injure it.

venial sin
A venial sin is a lesser sin that does not result in a complete separation from God and eternal damnation in Hell as an unrepented mortal sin would. Venial sins are viewed as more minor breaches of God’s law and, according to Catholic Church teaching, can be forgiven through any sacrament of the Church, through prayer, acts of charity or contrition, and during the Mass. They usually involve a less serious action and are committed with less self-awareness of wrongdoing.
