The Power of a Good Conscience
I used to work at a Catholic monastery and I can remember people coming in and returning a ten cent plastic rosary that they stole 20 years ago. Their conscience had burned to the point that they kept the rosary all that time and actually returned it in order to find peace and reconciliation.
Apparently something similar on a larger scaled happed last week. Some stolen items were returned 25 years after being stolen from a church. The guy obviously felt bad from the start, since he kept them rather than selling the goods (as I'm sure he intended to). It's amazing the power of a good conscience to keep one from evil.
My goal is to raise children with a conscience this powerful - a conscience that does great good in their lives. I think all Christian faiths should make it a top focus to form a good conscience and teaching chiildren right and wrong from an early age. It has the ability to transform our society for good.
What a fascinating story.
God bless,
Jay

There is no policy on earth that can police our destiny better than our conscience.
That's why it is advisable that we consistently pray that the Holy Spirit empower us with a Pure Conscience at all times to think of God as the Judge in whatever we do here on earh.
Having a good conscience is same as having a healthy spiritual life.
God bless you all in Jesus' name.
