A Short Examination of Conscience
One of the kids brought this home from youth group: an unattributed but very good examination of conscience. Very suitable for use during family prayer or at the end of the day.
Was this a day we shared with Christ?
Or were we greedy and self-indulgent?Did we, with some deed, glorify his name?
Or did we only create strife?Did we put a smile on someone’s face?
Or cause someone unhappiness?Did our speech echo that of Christ?
Or did our words put all to shame?Would Christ have been comfortable in our home?
Or would he have wanted to walk away?What was done today cannot be undone, but with meditation and prayer, a better day will come tomorrow.
Amen.
