Today, we have a conference considering a tried and true practice of the Spiritual Exercises, the General Examination of Conscience.

The basic idea is to maintain our spirit of fervor by regular examination, following the five steps of: 1 – giving thanks for favors received, 2 – asking for light to know one’s sins, 3 – examination of one’s actions, 4 – asking pardon to God for faults, and 5 – resolution to sin no more (with the help of God’s grace).
