2014 Year End Examination of Conscience by Fr.Andrew Reception

Few hours left before 2014 ends, I read the post of Fr.Andrew Reception, one of my favorite priests under the Archdiocese of Caceres, on Facebook about his guide for examination of conscience. I know most of you are now busy preparing your Media Noche however I hope you will be able to pause and be still for a moment... dedicate time to do this examen and reflect about what happened in 2014. 

I hope this way you'll have a meaningful year end. May this also help you as you contemplate and prepare your New Year's Resolution. 

Examination of Conscience at the End of the Year

1. SOUL
Did I give priority to my relationship with the Lord? Did I take seriously the salvation of my soul? Did I pray daily and spend time to reflect on God's Word? Did I nourish myself regularly with the Eucharist?

2. HEART
Did I have a meaningful life in spite of my routine existence? Did I love my family and any person that God placed beside me in the present moment?

3. MIND
Did I see my life even my failures from God's point of view? Did I have a positive disposition before negative situations?

4. HAND
Did I work not only to earn money but also to love the God of work? Did I manage my time and resources well and share what I could with the poor beginning with the ones closest to me?
