A good confession is only as good as the preparation we put into it. Vital to that preparation is examining our consciences.

A variety of examinations have been created over the roughly 2,000 years of Catholic history. We’ve assembled a variety of them for you to use to prepare for your next confession.

Each examination featured here approaches things a little differently. Check them out and see which one(s) help you the most.

• In Light of Catholic Social Teaching
• In Regard to Our Duties as Christians
• Lenten (Based on Chapter 4 of the Rule of St. Benedict)
• Based on Virtues
• By Station in Life:
