Examination of Conscience

Ask God to help you make a good confession.
In quiet reflection ask yourself: Since my last confession…

• Did I pray to God, daily and from my heart?
• Did I live and witness to my Catholic faith, joyfully and
  courageously? Did I take God’s name in vain? Did I curse
  anyone or make false oaths? Did I engage in superstitious
  or occult practices?
• Did I attend and participate actively at Mass on Sundays
  and holy days of obligation? Did I fast & abstain on
  prescribed days?
• Did I respect people in authority? My employer? Did I
  honor my parents?
• Was I violent or unnecessarily aggressive (e.g., physically,
  verbally, psychologically, etc.) with anyone?
• Was I prideful, stubborn, or rude with anyone? Did I hold a
  grudge?
• Did I abuse alcohol, prescription medications, or illegal
  drugs? Did I overindulge in food?
• Did I consent to, recommend, advise, or actively take part in
  an abortion? Did I use abortifacient drugs?
• Did I view pornography, entertain lustful thoughts,
  conversations or actions?
• Was I unloving to my spouse? Did I engage in adulterous
  activity (e.g., sexual, emotional, virtual, etc.)? Did I use
  contraceptives?
• Was I neglectful of the spiritual, intellectual, emotional, or
  physical needs of my spouse, children, or family?
• Did I steal or damage another’s property? Was I honest and
  just in my business relations? Did I waste time at work?
• Did I contribute to the needs of the spiritually and
  materially poor with my time and resources?
• Did I engage in gossip? Did I lie? Did I speak poorly of
  others? Did I judge anyone unfairly?
• Did I envy anyone? Was I jealous of others or covet
  another’s belongings?
