Lenten Season

Examination of Conscience - based on the Lenten Season

Consider the following questions:

• Do I only turn to God when I'm in need?

• Do I attend Mass on Sundays and hold days of obligation?

• Do I begin and end my day with prayer?

• Am I embarrassed to show that I am a Christian?

• Do I rebel against God's plan for my life?

• Am I envious, hot-tempered, biased, or prejudiced?

• Am I honest and fair with everyone or do I fuel the 'throwaway culture'?

• Do I uphold morality in my marital and family relations?

• Do I honour and respect my parents?

• Have I refused newly conceived life? Have I snuffed out the gift of life or helped to do so?

• Do I respect the environment?

• Am I part worldly and only part believer?

• Do I overdo eating, drinking, smoking, gambling, or amusements?

• Am I overly concerned with my physical well-being or my possessions?

• How do I use my time? Am I spiritually lazy?

• Do I want to be served instead of serving?

• Do I dream of revenge or hold grudges?

• Am I meek, humble, and a builder of peace?
