A self-examination of conscious is a long held Christian tradition for growth in the spiritual life.  You see it in the bible many times.  St. Paul, in particular; recommends an examination of conscious (see 1 Cor 11:28, 2 Cor 13:5, 1 Cor 11:31, Gal 6:4).  My favorite examination of conscious in the bible; however, is the one told by Jesus in the story of the Prodigal Son (Luke 15 11-32).  The Prodigal Son is cleaning the stalls of pigs.  For a first century Jew, who by law avoided all pork, this must have been a rock bottom point in his life.  At this point the son examines his life, understands his errors and returns to his father to be embraced and loved.    As we prepare ourselves for Christmas let us examine our conscious and run to the embrace of our Heavenly Father.
