Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Mark 8:27-33 - Jesus and His disciples set out for the villages of Caesarea Philippi. Along the way He asked His disciples, “Who do people say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others one of the prophets.” And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said to Him in reply, “You are the Christ.” Then He warned them not to tell anyone about Him. He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed, and rise after three days. He spoke this openly. Then Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke him. At this He turned around and, looking at His disciples, rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan. You are thinking not as God does, but as human beings do.” Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3) How to make a good examination of conscience and a good confession 4) Spiritual Warfare: The Masculine Biblical Theology of Prayer https://catholicexchange.com/spiritual-warfare-the-masculine-biblical-theology-of-prayer/

Father Rob Kroll, SJ joined Patrick for a conversation about making an examination of conscience. Topics included: what a conscience is (2:57), St. Ignatius of Loyola (9:35), awareness of our shortcomings (16:59), caller: I struggle with OCD (23:20), caller: how can I distinguish between mortal and venial sin? (28:27), email: I find myself committing the same sins (33:11), making time for an examination of conscience (40:23), and caller: I try to thank God for 1 to 3 min a day (42:36). Resources: https://scrupulousanonymous.org/ https://www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/sacraments-and-sacramentals/penance/examinations-of-conscience Pathways of Prayer….The Examen by Fr. Rob KrollAlthough not invented by, or unique to, St. Ignatius, the Consciousness Examen (or, mostcommonly, “the Examen”) is most often associated with him and with the order he founded. The Examen is a prayer of looking back over one's day, reviewing it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to find the presence and action of God within it. Rather than bracketing the “stuff” of daily life as a distraction to prayer, the Examen invites us to explore and plumb the depth of our day for God'sinvolvement within it. The Examen helps us appreciate where we have seen the face of God or heard God's voice in the midst of ordinary life. An experienced hunter who sees animal tracks in the snow knows that a deer, fox or other creature has passed by. Just so, the Examen helps us identify clues to God's “passing by” when perhaps at the moment we were too busy or distracted to notice. This prayer method, then, assists us to “find God in all things.” Prayed regularly, even daily, it makes us moreattuned to the movements of the Holy Spirit in our life of discipleship.Unlike the Examination of Conscience used before Confession, the Examen's focus is not primarily on sin (although it includes a recognition of sin). This prayer's goal is deep gratitude for God's gifts, and growth in discernment about how well (or poorly) I respond to the will of God in my daily life. The Examen also effects interior transformation and greater freedom because through it I come toknow better both myself and God's dealings with me.St. Ignatius recommended that the Examen be prayed twice daily for about 15 minutes, although doing it once a day in the evening will still be very fruitful. Traditionally there are five steps or movements. Initially they may seem mechanical, but over time the prayer takes on a natural flow. 5 STEPS OF THE EXAMENThis outline is based on St. Ignatius' presentation in the Spiritual Exercises (n. 43), and is adapted fromThe Examen Prayer by Timothy M. Gallagher, OMV.Transition I become aware of God gazing upon me with love as I begin my Examen. Irecall that God has created and ordained all things.Step One: Gratitude I note the gifts that God has given to me this day, thanking God for them. Step Two: Petition I ask God for insight so that this Examen is a work of grace, not mere navel gazing or ruminating over my day. I ask the Holy Spirit to shine His light sothat I review the day with His eyes and guided by grace. Step Three: Review With God, I prayerfully review the day hour by hour with its many activities and encounters. Did I experience something surprising or unusual today: a callor email from a friend I hadn't heard from in years…a painful memory I hadconsidered forgotten…something beautiful in nature…a news story thatmoved or disturbed me…As I walk through my day, I look for the stirrings ofmy heart (feelings) and mind (thoughts). Which have come from God?Normally the Holy Spirit acts to give us peace, joy, strength, encouragement.Which stirrings have clearly not been of God but represent suggestions fromthe enemy? I examine my choices in response to both sets of stirrings. Howdid God delight in me today? How was God proud of me? Step Four: Forgiveness I own honestly any ways that I have turned away from God somehow today,whether by failing to love when an opportunity came long or by activelydoing wrong in thought, word, or deed. I ask for healing and forgiveness fromthe God who removes my heart's burdens. If necessary, I resolve to bringmyself to Confession. Step Five: Renewal The Examen ends by looking ahead to the coming day with hope and confidence, entrusting it to God's grace. With God, I concretely plan how tolive the next day in accord with His loving desire for my life.The Examen helps us grow in self-knowledge as well as in discerning God's presence, action and will indaily life. Through it, we more easily find God in all things and love all things in Christ.

In this episode, JonMarc Grodi reflects on the Christian practice of the Examination of Conscience and how it is an opportunity both to recognize and repent of our sins, but also to better understand our patterns of thoughts, actions and reactions so that we can avoid sin in the future. He also reflects on how the act of the Examination should itself be a practice of virtues to combat our vices — attending to God's presence, choosing to see things in the light of faith, and making prudent plans for amending our lives.

St Ignatius of Loyola began the four step process that is widely used, loved, and called The Examen. Use this four step process to return to God- to reconcile - as you move towards sleep. Come to God and place your contrite soul before Him. Thank Him for all the blessings of the day, and ask forgiveness for anything done wrong. Find yourself soothed and ready to head to sleep after you've placed the cares and worries of tomorrow into The Father's capable hands. Please do not drive or operate a vehicle while listening to this track.

Jesus tells us to pray to have the strength "to stand before the Son of Man." When we die we will be judged by God. This is a hard truth but also a truth that saves us. If we ask God for the courage to see ourselves as we really are now, we will be prepared for our death and God's judgment. Reliance on God's grace, fostering sincerity with ourselves and others, living charity, and regularly examining our conscience are all ways to avoid self-deception and to prepare for our definitive meeting with God. https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

“God is love.” 1 John 4:8 Claudia Margarita Schmitt joins us on the podcast today to discuss the depth of the Examination of Conscience. She speaks about how moral formation should be a response to the child's already established relationship with God. A foundation rooted in them knowing how loved they are by God and their response to that love. Claudia Margarita Schmitt lived in many different countries throughout her life. She has discovered over time that her roots are first in her Roman Catholic faith and also in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. Everywhere she goes she recognizes the same language being used to discover the mystery of God. As an international formation leader for Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. She constantly has this experience of finding her roots. She has been a catechists for 33 years and a formation leader for 32. She lived for 8 years in Rome studying and working with Gianna Gobbi and Sofia Cavalletti. She describes this time as precious and that they taught her many things but first to be humble.
