The Examination of Conscience helps us to examine our lives, recognize sinful thoughts, words, deeds, and omissions and ask the Lord for His forgiveness, so we can go forth transformed to be the light and salt of the earth. Through the lens of the Ten Commandments, the Examination involves a series of questions that invoke introspection and reflection allowing us to repent and make restitution for the ways we have offended God so that we can once again come live as young disciples to change the world.
