An examination of conscience using New Testament figures

[Michie]

When we perform an examination of conscience, it is common to use the Ten Commandments as a guide for reflection (as seen here http://www.scborromeo.org/confess.htm and here http://www.ncregister.com/info/confession_guide_for_adults). But it can also be helpful to meditate on some categories of sins the Church describes: the seven capital sins- or called the 'seven deadly sins'- (pride, envy, avarice, acedia, anger, lust and gluttony), the six sins against the Holy Spirit (presumption, despair, resisting the known truth, envy of another's spiritual good, obstinacy in sin and final inpenitence) and those sins referred to as the 'four sins crying to heaven for vengeance' (willful murder, the sin of Sodom, oppression of the poor and defrauding laborers of their wages). To better understand these various sins, I have identified New Testament figures in whom some of these sins are manifest. Using these personal examples, we can hopefully be able to recognize these sins in ourselves.
