Proper Formation of Conscience


(Image Source: Wikimedia Commons)

…finally, every person has a right to freedom of conscience and the serious duty to follow his or her conscience.  But conscience never develops in a vacuum.  Conscience is never just an exercise of personal opinion or preference.  Every person has the obligation to form his or her conscience in the light of God’s truth.  And for all men and women, in every age and every culture, the truth about God and the human person is taught in a complete way only by the Catholic faith.  

(Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap.)

Don't Let The Enemies of Truth Win

 

But, Lord, It Is So Difficult

(Image Source- Wikimedia Commons) Jesus warned that sometimes His teachings would bring conflict to those who accepted and lived them (Luke 12: 49-53)…being true to the Gospel means I will have to stand up for what I believe even if it causes division among those with whom I live and work.   Jesus, do not let my distaste for conflict keep me from supporting and living Your profound teachings.   One Bread, One Body

Let Us Adore Him!

Let us adore Jesus in our hearts, who spent 30 years out of 33 in silence; who began His public life by spending 40 days in silence; who often retired alone to spend the night on a mountain in silence.  He, who spoke with authority, now spends His earthly life in silence.  Let us adore Jesus in the Eucharistic silence.  (Blessed Teresa of Calcutta)
