Examination of Conscience for the 2025 Jubilee Year of Hope

Inspired by Catholic tradition and the documents of the Synod on Synodality (Part II)

The 2025 Jubilee Year, centered on hope, invites us to reflect on our relationship with God, with others, and with creation. This examination of conscience, illuminated by the Synod’s call to walk together as a synodal Church, seeks to help us deepen our faith, our communion with others, and our mission in the world.

I. Reflection on my relationship with God

1. Hope in God

  • Do I fully trust in God’s promise of salvation, even in times of difficulty?
  • Do I seek to strengthen my faith and hope through prayer and the sacraments?
  • Have I neglected my participation in the Sunday Eucharist and in times of personal prayer?

2. Listening to the Word

  • Do I make an effort to listen to the Word of God and put it into practice in my daily life?
  • Do I allow the Word of God to enlighten my decisions and guide my path?

3. Gratitude and praise

  • Do I thank God for daily blessings, recognizing his presence in my life?
  • Have I been indifferent or ungrateful to the gifts I receive?

II. Reflection on my relationship with others

1. Walking together as a community

  • Do I value and actively participate in my parish or ecclesial community?
  • Have I been welcoming and understanding to those who have opinions or experiences different from mine?

2. Synodality: Listening and dialoguing

  • Have I listened attentively and without prejudice to the people around me?
  • Have I promoted dialogue and reconciliation in my family, community or work?

3. Love and Service

  • Have I shown compassion and solidarity with the poor, the marginalized and the needy?
  • Have I acted with justice, avoiding all forms of discrimination or exclusion?

III. Reflection on my relationship with creation

1. Custodians of creation

  • Am I aware of my responsibility to care for the environment as an expression of my faith?
  • Have I adopted habits that promote sustainability and reduce my ecological impact?

2. Hope for future generations

  • Have I worked to leave a better world for future generations?
  • Have I promoted a culture of care, respect and hope in my environment?

IV. Reflection on my mission in the world

1. Christian witness

  • Have I witnessed Christian hope in my environment, especially in times of crisis?
  • Am I ashamed of my faith, or do I live it with courage and joy?

2. Commitment to justice and peace

  • Have I contributed to building a more just and peaceful world?
  • Have I been indifferent to injustice, or have I passively tolerated it?

3. Evangelization

  • Do I share the hope of the Gospel with those around me?
  • Do I strive to be an instrument of unity in the Church and in the world?

Closing prayer

Lord, source of our hope, help me to walk with you and with my brothers and sisters in a spirit of communion, participation and mission. Forgive my sins and strengthen my faith, so that I may be a faithful witness of your love in the world. May this Jubilee Year renew my heart and inspire me to live with joy and hope, always trusting in your mercy. Amen.
