A Simple Way to End Our Day with God
One Sunday, a local priest gave us an Examination of Conscience with the Holy Trinity:
- At the end of the day, thank our Heavenly Father for the day, the gift of life, the activities, lessons learned in the day, family, and so on.
- Then go to Jesus, Son of the Father, and implore his mercy for your sins, your faults.
- Lastly, implore the Holy Spirit to descend upon you and grant you a good night’s rest. Give him everything; your concerns, your worries, and ask him to guide you the next day to follow Christ.
Well, I wasn’t taking notes during the homily, but Father’s gift of preaching helped me remember the main points. Try it!
O Holy Trinity – guide us always to your will!
Christians are baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit: not in their names, for there is only one God, the almighty Father, his only Son and the Holy Spirit: the Most Holy Trinity. The mystery of the Most Holy Trinity is the central mystery of Christian faith and life. It is the mystery of God in himself. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, nos. 233-234)
