Prayer:
Knowing my Faith:
In choosing to do wrong
And failing to do good,
I have sinned against you
whom I should love above all things.
I firmly intend, with your help,
to do penance,
to sin no more,
and to avoid whatever leads me to sin.
Our Savior Jesus Christ
Suffered and died for us.
In his name, my God, have mercy.

Prayer:
- Reflect over the last week and examine your conscience. This means looking prayerfully at how you have or have not imitated Christ. After you have looked at your life, pray to the Holy Spirit, asking him to help you be Christ-like in your thoughts, words, and actions. Do this with your sponsor. Make a resolution to follow Jesus better the next day.
- How will a daily examination of conscience help your spiritual life?
- What steps am I taking to help myself grow closer to God and others? Do I turn to God often during the day, especially when I am tempted?
- Do I participate at Mass with attention and devotion on Sundays and Holy Days? Do I pray often and read the Bible?
- Do I use God’s name or the name of Jesus, Mary and the saints with love and reverence?
- Have I set a bad example through my words or actions? Do I treat others fairly? Do I spread Stories that hurt other people?
- Am I loving of those in my family? Am I respectful to my neighbors, friends, and those in authority?
- Do I show respect for my body and for the bodies of others? Do I keep away from forms of entertainment that do not respect God’s gist of sexuality?
- Have I taken or damaged anything that did not belong to me? Have I cheated, copied homework, or lied?
- Do I quarrel with others just so I can get my own way? Do I insult others to try to make them think they are less than I am? Do I hold grudges and try to hurt people who I think have hurt me?
Knowing my Faith:
- It is good to look over the past several months and evaluate how your Confirmation preparation is helping you grow in your relationships with Christ, your family, your friends, and the Church. When have you been strong and faithful to Christ? When has it been difficult for you to live your faith?
- Resolve to memorize the Act of Contrition…
