For Priests and the Laity, When we Examine our Consciences

Fr. Fr. Z, who does not beat around the bush.

Have you been jealous of the good fortune of another? I offer this especially to clerics who are suffering from the dread fault of proud ambition.

Have you resented your state because you think you should have had a different lot in life?

Have you chaffed under what God’s will is for you in your vocation?

Have you neglected prayer in your daily grind?

Have you lacked generosity or been small of soul?

Have you thanked God for the graces that come with the challenges?
