Thanks be to God for your homilies. I try to dig down around the roots of pride, anger, envy, greed, gluttony, sloth, and lust when I confess but it's hard not to rationalize or mitigate sin when it's really about a lack of love for God. The attachments to the world seem like invisible chains but I trust the Lord will set me free to serve Him.

Dear Fr.,
Very good message today. Especially important was your suggestion of a daily examination of conscience.

Dear Fr.,
Very good message today. Especially important was your suggestion of a daily examination of conscience.
It is not only the bad things in our lives that ought to be uncovered and addressed but also the useless things: our pride, our worthless diversions, our waste of time, our excessive love of food or drink, a pathological concern with our health, the unwillingness to let go of past disappointments or pain.
As you indicated, an examination of conscience serves to assist us in uncovering not only the evil within us but also these imperfections and, more importantly, rooting them out since they serve no purpose in the growth of our spiritual lives. the unwillingness to let go of past disappointments.
It is very important, therefore, that we form a clear and correct conscience. This means that we cultivate a sensitive judgment which is alert to the least offense against the Divine will and, at the same time, protect ourselves against the wiles of the evil spirit. "The enemy," says St. Ignatius, "considers carefully whether one has a lax or a delicate conscience. If one has a delicate conscience, the evil one seeks to make it excessively sensitive in order to disturb and upset it more easily. Thus, if he sees that one will not consent to mortal sin or venial sin, or even to the appearance of deliberate sin, since he cannot cause him to fall in a matter that appears sinful, he strives to make the soul judge that there is a sin, for example in a word or passing thought, where there is no sin.” (Spiritual Exercises, 349).
