Examination of Conscience

You have come to experience the Lord's forgiveness and compassion. It is a very personal moment in your relationship with God.

To get the most from your confessional-encounter with Christ, you should prepare well. You should arouse in yourself a deep, true sorrow for your sins, how they have offended against God who loves us infinitely, and how they have hurt our fellow men who so need our help. You should not try to ferret out each and every sin - serious attitudes of sin will usually come to mind immediately, nor should you waste time in useless regrets. 

Please remember that the Sacrament of Reconciliation is above all an act of God's love, it is a personal moment to be lived in a relationship of love with God. It is not a routine (or an ordeal) to be gone through, but very much part of the personal renewal which takes place in each person.

You are invited in the light of God's love

• to recognize the sinfulness in your life...
• to have a true sorrow for these sins...
• and a firm intention to avoid them in the future.

These elements are essential to a proper and meaningful celebration of The Sacrament.  Sin is not merely a series of failures. It is also your sharing in what is actually evil:

• unbelief, indifference, selfishness,
• violence, contempt for the weak, eroticism,
• racism, neglect of the poor,
• money seeking, wastefulness,
• a spirit of pride and superiority.

Every sin, in one way or another, has a community dimension. It is something which tarnishes the Body of Christ, which together, we are. Every sin ought to arouse in us feelings of humble regret and a confident request for pardon.

 Today my Father is waiting for me, I must return to Him... 

Then the prodigal son came to his senses and said: ‹ I will leave this place and Go to my Father and say: "Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you." ›

While he was still a long way off, his Father saw him and was moved with pity. He ran to the boy, clasped him in his arms and kissed him tenderly. The Father said: "Quick, bring out the best robe... this son of mine was dead and has come back to Life..." (Luke 15) 

Our Heavenly Father awaits us in the same way.

Following the example of the prodigal son, examine your conscience in the Light of the Gospel and find out when you have behaved contrary to the teaching of Our Lord Jesus Christ in thoughts, words and deeds.
