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?
