Basic Christian Morality includes the concepts of Law and Conscience. Law is an ordinance of reason for the common good promulgated by those in authority. Divine natural law is found in the very structure of life and can be known by reason (eg. “Do good and avoid evil.”). Divine positive law is found in Divine Revelation and can be known by faith (eg. The Ten Commandments). Civil law is the particular application of Divine natural law (eg. traffic regulations). Ecclesiastical law is the particular application of Divine positive law (eg. Sunday Mass obligation). Law, properly understood, represents the objective moral order, something outside of ourselves. On the other hand, Conscience belongs to the subjective moral order, something inside ourselves. Conscience is a person’s inner dialogue with God Who call each one to act with the man or woman he or she is called to be (recall the 10 characteristics of human dignity and our eternal destiny). Conscience is a judgment of reason. Conscience is at work in an action: 1) before (sorting data); 2) during (making a judgment to act or not to act, to hold an attitude or not); 3) after (evaluating the rightness or wrongness of an action). There are at least two principals concerning conscience. First, conscience is supreme but it is not superior to God, the Church or other people’s consciences. A person has no higher court of appeal than his or her conscience because ultimately each one is responsible for his or her actions. One who does not accept such responsibility is not free and not to be free is to become like the animals since the mystery of being human is being free. Second, everyone has the duty to develop an informed conscience. Among other things, an informed conscience 1) has a pure intention; 2) consults Divine Revelation; 3) consults the teaching of the Church; 4) uses the “yardstick of love” to measure an act; 5) follows current debate on moral issues; 6) asks God for guidance; 7) confesses sins and sinfulness (eg, immediate gratification, laziness, what others may think). In sum, Conscience: form it and follow it. Law and conscience are two sides of one coin: the objective and subjective norms of the moral order. -- Rev. Christopher R. Armstrong
ORIENTATION ON THE CHILD PROTECTION DECREE will be held in the Holy Family Room at 1PM on Thursday, November 15. |
NOVEMBER is traditionally devoted to the Poor Souls. St. John Vianney gives at least one reason to pray for them. “If it were but known how great is the power of the good souls in Purgatory with the Heart of God, and if we knew all the graces we can obtain through their intercession, they would not be so much forgotten. We must therefore, pray much for them that they may pray much for us.”
THANKSGIVING DAY MASS at 8:00AM we will be accepting non-perishable food items and cash gifts for the St. Michael Food Pantry through our St. Vincent de Paul Society. Please help the Society.
We ask that all small children refrain from drinking flavored beverages while in the greeting room of the church. The drinks leave stains in the carpet from the sugars and colorings. There is a water fountain available in the hallway by the restrooms. Thank you.

A NOTE FROM OUR SEMINARIAN INTERN, MR. DAVID ENDRES One of the many weekly parish happenings that can be overlooked is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA). Unless we personally know someone learning more about the faith or considering entrance into the Church, we likely know little about the process. This year the parish has seven adults who are taking part. Some have been baptized in other Christian traditions and others are baptized Catholics taking this opportunity to “update” their understanding of the faith. During these beginning weeks of instruction, we are getting down to basics – learning about the Scriptures, the Mass, and the Holy Trinity. It is always exciting for us who help teach the participants to share our own knowledge and experience of the faith and be enriched by their inquisitives and enthusiasm. Please pray for the men and women who are learning more about our faith and those discerning their entrance into the Catholic Church at Easter.
