Examination of Conscience!

What is an examination of conscience?

Its when you confess your sins to the parish priest during the Sacrament of Reconciliation, or it is contrition which means a deep regret or feeling guilty for making a wrong decision.

Why would it be helpful?

It is helpful because it makes you recognise your sins and ask the priest to be forgiven. The priest can give you advice for the guilt that you’ve created.

When would the church invite people to do this?

It happens during the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Which is held in May 27 to June 3.

A person was caught stealing something small which was made into a pattern and which resulted for the person to become a thief. If he had examined his conscience earlier, he would have prevented the theft and not get caught.
