Examination of Conscience
- Have I tried to speak to God sincerely every day in mental prayer?
- Do I realize frequently that I am in God’s presence?
- Have I tried to say some aspirations to God daily?
- Do I give my first and last thought to God each day?
- Do I strive to make the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass the center of my interior life?
- Have I prayed the Rosary and other vocal prayers slowly and with attention?
- Have I hurried over the general examination of conscience?
- Have I gone against my own preference at times each day, offering this mortification to our Lord?
- Have I prayed for my family each day?
- Have I prayed with my family each day?
- Have I born well the contradictions of the day?
- Do I have an upright intention, doing all for the glory of God?
- Have I taken care to live charity with my family, co-workers and friends?
- Am I asking God to help make specific some resolution from this recollection and to put it into effect?

Plan of Life
By Joseph M. Muntadas
OUR LIVES nowadays are so filled with activities that if we want to maintain our social relations and not overlook other important aspects of life, we need to organize ourselves, plan things out, and avoid leaving things to last minute improvisation. In short, we need what we might call a “plan of life.” VIEW PDF

From the USCCB – https://www.usccb.org/resources/letters-pharmaceutical-companies

sanctity of life to protest the use of abortion-derived cell lines and advocate
for the development of vaccines with no connection to abortion.
To make it easier to take this action, we provide the following sample letters
to pharmaceutical companies that are using abortion-derived cell lines
to produce and/or test vaccines.
