I would probably have judged the same way.<br /><br />I didn’t convey my point well. Judgementalism: how we judge others who party. I did this when I was younger and it was not a bad thing! I did not bring other people closer to hell, and they me. I am still friends with these people, and they are great people! Yes, how one dances and how one drinks means the difference between right and wrong. However, if I want to grow closer to God, I must look at myself and my sins, just as Father pointed out in this meditation. Not others. “Where do my thoughts go – on myself and my reactions to circumstances or on how others ‘should’ act.<br /><br />I didn’t mean to scandalize Father’s faithful followers. Thanks for your comment. It helped me to examine my comment!<br /><br />Have a meaningful Holy Week. :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-36468198335675167912014-04-12T17:19:11.875-05:002014-04-12T17:19:11.875-05:00I love your meditation .

Most examinations of conscience focus on the Decalogue, listing some of the more obvious sins, but if a person starts making regular trips to Confession, these examinations don't help as much. Thinking of the deadly sins ( Pride, Avarice, Lust, etc.) helps pinpoint some sinful tendencies, and approaches the root of sin, the root Jesus speaks of when he states that sins take place in the mind before they even being acted upon: "he who commits adultery in his heart..." Your list goes even further in helping locate these attitudes that bud into sinful thoughts and feelings. <br /><br />Thanks for the program. You've given me a lot to think about and pray over.Benedict Augustinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07274188116075677081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-439331035718369167.post-82128528583313121112014-04-12T08:01:49.643-05:002014-04-12T08:01:49.643-05:00From my days in the seminary. :)From my days in the seminary. :)Fr.

It's sad how the world accepts and even encourages sin. <br />I love this blog. It is attracting good followers whose comments can really add to its impact on others. <br />God bless.
