Howdy,

I know many of you will have students leaving for college or university soon, some for the first time. Please remember to suggest that they find the Catholic quickly before they start other routines.

The Newman Center (or Catholic Center at some universities ) is a place to meet students with similar values as your students. Especially if hey are A Well-Formed Conscience attending a state university, it is a place to get help if a professor begins to attack their Catholic faith. As The Church equips its members to address political and social a former Newman Center Director I can attest to questions by helping them to develop a well-formed conscience. this sad situation. Catholics have a serious and lifelong obligation to form their con- sciences in accord with human reason and the teaching of the Church. Conscience is not something that allows us to justify do- Newman Centers Provide Mass, fellowship, and ing whatever we want, nor is it a mere “feeling” about what we opportunities for growth in faith. Many also provide should or should not do. Rather, conscience is the voice of God resounding in the human heart, revealing the truth to us and call- retreats during the year and most will have a priest ing us to do what is good while shunning what is evil. Conscience available if he is not in residence. always requires serious attempts to make sound moral judgments based on the truths of our faith. As stated in the Catechism of the Yours in Christ, , “Conscience is a judgement of reason whereby the human person recognizes the moral quality of a concrete act Fr. Mike that he is going to perform, is in the process of performing, or has already completed. In all he says and does, man is obliged to follow faithfully what he knows to be just and right”.

USCCB Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship

Una Conciencia Bien Formada

La Iglesia equipa a sus miembros para abordar cuestiones polí- ticas y sociales ayudándoles a desarrollar una conciencia bien formada. Los católicos tienen una obligación seria y permanente de formar sus conciencias de acuerdo con la razón humana y la enseñanza de la Iglesia. La conciencia no es algo que nos per- mita justificar hacer lo que queramos, ni es nomas un "sentimiento" sobre lo que debemos o no debemos hacer. Por el contrario, la conciencia es la voz de Dios que resuena en el cora- zón humano, nos revela la verdad y nos llama a hacer lo que es bueno, mientras que rehuimos lo que es malo. La conciencia siempre requiere serios intentos de hacer juicios morales sólidos basados en las verdades de nuestra fe. Como se afirma en el Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, "La conciencia es un juicio de razón por el cual la persona humana reconoce la calidad moral de un acto concreto que va a realizar, está en proceso de ejecución o ya ha completado. En todo lo que dice y hace, el hombre está obligado a seguir fielmente lo que sabe que es justo y correcto ".
