Examen
Examination of conscience is a review of one's past thoughts, words, actions, and omissions for the purpose of ascertaining their conformity with, or deviation from, the moral law. Among Christians, this is generally a private review; secular intellectuals have, on occasion, published autocritiques for public consumption. In the Catholic Church, penitents who wish to receive the sacrament of penance are encouraged to examine their conscience using the Ten Commandments as a guide, or the Beatitudes, or the virtues and vices.

The process is very similar to the Islamic practice of Muhasaba, or self-reflection.

St. Ignatius of Loyola considered t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
