there will be an examination of conscience, which will ask us to reflect upon the questions below. As you prepare to attend the penance service this week, consider reflecting on these questions, the Ten Commandments, and the greatest two commandments, as expressed by Jesus: to Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind, and to Love your neighbor as yourself.

Have I thanked God for the blessings and achievements of my life? Do I acknowledge my failures and present my needs to God in prayer?

Do I stand up for my faith and moral beliefs, even if other people may not agree? Have I tried to follow Christ in my daily life?

Have I become comfortable with my sins, confessing the same ones over and over, but not really trying to change? Do I try to break the habits that lead to sin?

Have I been a “cheerful giver” or do I resent the obligations of Christian charity? Do I complain about following Church regulations or do I sacrifice with quiet humility?

Have I gossiped about other people? Do I hold onto grudges for past injuries? Do I cling to prejudice and unfairly judge others?
