Zone1 Anyone Ask Themselves?

[Unkotare]

A lot of people talk about this, even claim this, but how many actually do it? I have to admit I don't always. A lot of days I collapse exhausted into bed, later than I should.


"The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It's very simple, and it's designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life. Basically, it consists in taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God's commandments. The Act of Contrition is often said afterwards. The daily examination also serves as an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession."


"Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.

• Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
• In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
• Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit's promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
• Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow."

I totally get this! I fall into bed and am asleep before I complete the Sign of the Cross. I'm a morning person so I switched scrutiny of conscience to the morning, or on my way home from work (a plus is that I'm a more courteous driver).

I like that. It's a good habit to nurture.

no heavenly commandments are in existence a&e chose correctly self determination as for all beings the means to free their spirits for judgement and admission to the everlasting.

the goal set by the heavens to triumph good vs evil before one's life expires.

this was back when they did not have as much stress and things to do like today. deadlines, needing to drive up to a hour one way, family stress, etc, making sure the kids are going to bed and not on the computer playing some video game or worse like your teen daughter in a chat room with men posing as boys

Do you really think there was ever a time with "not as much stress" as today?
