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

  • Examination of conscience is a review of one's past thoughts, words and actions for the purpose of ascertaining their conformity with, or difformity from, the moral law. Among Christians, this is generally a private review; secular intellectuals have, on occasion, published autocritiques for public consumption. In the Roman Catholic Church penitents who wish to receive the sacrament of penance are encouraged to examine their conscience using the ten commandments as a guide. "The excellence of this practice and its fruitfulness for christian virtue," preached Pope St. Pius X, "are clearly established by the teaching of the great masters of the spiritual life. " St. Ignatius of Loyola considered the examination of conscience as the single most important spiritual exercise. St. Ignatius included the Examination in the Spiritual Exercises and already there he presents different forms of it (particular and general examination, see in in the book of the Spiritual Exercises, with the customary marginal numbers). Since then the method became known under various names in the spiritual literature and practice, it is called sometimes “Awareness Examen”, sometimes “Daily Examination of Consciousness” in for example. In general, there is a distinction between the “Particular Examen”, which aims to change one particular feature or defect in ones behavior and the “Daily Examination of Consciousness”, which is a prayerful review of one day and finally the “General Examination of Conscience”. This last method is called examination of “conscience” because it is a review of one’s actions from a moral point of view, reflecting upon one’s responsibility and looking at one’s sins and weaknesses in preparation for repentance in contrast with the examination of “consciousness” which does not focuses on morality even if sins will emerge during the review of the day.

  • L'examen de conscience est une technique pratiquée dans le christianisme afin de recenser ses erreurs graves de comportement de manière à pouvoir d'une part s'en confesser et d'autre part éviter d'y retomber. Le principe en est celui d'un questionnaire destiné à conduire ses pensées à ce sujet avec ordre et méthode, et de façon assez systématique pour ne rien risquer d'omettre. Bien que le but essentiel soit de débusquer tous les péchés mortels (c’est-à-dire graves parce que commis avec le plein assentiment de la conscience), les questionnaires essaient de ramener aussi le souvenir des péchés véniels (moins graves parce que non prémédités et considérés comme rarement évitables par le commun des mortels en raison de leur imperfection même - ce qui ne signifie nullement qu'il ne fasse pas faire un effort pour au moins en réduire la fréquence).
  • Rachunek sumienia - w katolicyzmie, introspektywna analiza aksjologiczna (ocena moralna własnego postępowania, myślenia, itd. ) mająca miejsce zwłaszcza przed przystąpieniem do sakramentu pojednania; pierwszy z warunków dobrej spowiedzi. Rachunek sumienia odgrywa fundamentalną rolę w rozeznaniu własnej sytuacji pod kątem rozwoju moralnego lub duchowego. W chrześcijaństwie stanowi nieodzowny fundament ciągłego nawracania swojej osoby w kierunku pełnej wiary. Jak podaje Katechizm Kościoła Katolickiego: "Najbardziej do rachunku sumienia nadają się teksty, których należy szukać w Dekalogu i w katechezie moralnej Ewangelii i Listów Apostolskich: w Kazaniu na Górze i pouczeniach apostolskich".
