How to Make an Examination of Conscience

By Colleen Hammond, in Meditations | Leave a response Leave a response

Today we will meditate upon the manner of making the examination of conscience, and we shall see: first, the character of this examination; second, the acts which ought to accompany it. We will then make the resolution: first, to observe in our examination the rules laid down by the saints; second, to bring to it above all a sincere regret for our sins and a firm resolve to correct them. Our spiritual nosegay shall be the words of King Ezechias: “I will recount to Thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.” (Is. 38:15)

Compare our son’s two high quality Prie Dieus/Prayer Kneelers (below) to other places that charge well over $500!

Meticulously hand-crafted in the USA, these Prie Dieus are ‘glued and screwed’ for stability and long life.

Model and Patroness of a Family, a Wife, a Mother, and a Mystic.

I have a strong devotion to Bl. Anna Maria Taigi. She has blessed our family with one major miracle and a number of “tiny” ones. She is truly an example of a devoted wife, a loving mother, and an accurate and amazing mystic. I’m excited to announce, too, that more information on her canonization is coming soon!
