Do I Have a Good Conscience?

Jiminy Cricket said “Always let your conscience be your guide,” but
how do I know if I have a good conscience? A good conscience more
often is concerned with our responsibilities than with our rights.
It is more preoccupied with what God wants than with what I want.
Fr. Mike tells us, “Stop thinking like the world and start thinking
like God.” The world will have us think our conscience is the final
judge on what is right and wrong, but as Catholics we know that God
is the final judge, and our consciences need to be formed—in fact,
transformed—to abide by and abide in his will. “Do not be conformed
to this world but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that
you may prove what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable
and perfect” (Romans 12:2). Interesting tidbit: As you may know,
“Jiminy Cricket” is a minced oath for “Jesus Christ”; but did you
know that Blessed John Henry Newman considered the conscience to be
the “aboriginal vicar of Christ”?
