In preparing to celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation, we engage in an honest examination of our conscience, searching our hearts for the times when we have fallen short in our journey to Christ.  
To assist us in our preparation for the sacrament of reconciliation, there are many forms of an examination of conscience that we can use to help guide our reflections.   We provide here just a few versions, which you may find helpful as you approach the sacrament of reconciliation.
