As defined by the glossary to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, a venial sin is "sin which does not destroy the divine life in the soul, as does mortal sin, though it diminishes and wounds it. Venial sin is the failure to observe necessary moderation, in lesser matters of the moral law, or in grave matters acting without full knowledge or complete consent." See the Catechism, nos. 1855 and 1862.
A mortal sin, as defined by the same glossary, is "a grave infraction of the law of God that destroys the divine life (or sanctifying grace) in the soul of the sinner, constituting a turn away from God. For a sin to be mortal, three conditions must be present: grave matter, full knowledge of the evil of the act, and full consent of the will." See the Catechism, nos. 1855 and 1857.

What is Venial sin and Mortal sin?
A venial is a slight offense against God while a mortal sin is a great offense. A venial sin is like a spiritual misdemeanor while a mortal sin is like a spiritual felony. Things like telling lies to get out of trouble, stealing something that is not of great value, or profanity are examples of venial sins. Murder (including abortion), stealing something of great value, and not going to Church on Sunday (which violates the Third Commandment) are examples of mortal sins. Mortal sins are so serious that they drive sanctifying grace from the soul. If you die without having been forgiven for a mortal sin, you will go to hell. Venial sins only lessen grace. No amount of venial sin is enough to send someone to hell. If you die without having been forgiven for venial sins, you will have to spend time in purgatory to have them forgiven. Really though, God looks at all sin the same. Read Rev. 21:8. Also, one scripture says why should we keep on sinning, is it so that grace may increase. If you don't repent from any kind of sin you will go to hell. If God sees the effort, you are fine because he understands nobody is perfect and we all mess up.
