A lot of folks would get into the technicalities of mortal and venial sins, but your story to me describes someone facing death--knowing it--and having perfect contrition for her sins. The fact that you were there in that moment to tell her the gospel--the good news that God forgives because His Son died for us--what a profound moment of grace.
Well, Jesus didn't really call theologians or philosophers for the 12, he called mostly fishermen--and most importantly he called us all to discipleship.

I loved this. God gives us these opportunities so that we’ll not only never forget but that we yearn for him first.
I’m a man at a coffee shop, so I can’t cry and frighten folks, so I just sit here amazed at God’s fabulous interventions. Thanks so much for sharing.
