WEEKLY Q & A FROM USCCB
COMPENDIUM OF CATECHISM OF THE
CATHOLIC CHURCH
THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON
THE MORAL CONSCIENCE
372. What is the moral conscience?
Moral conscience, present in the heart of
the person, is a judgment of reason which
at the appropriate moment enjoins him to
do good and to avoid evil. Thanks to
moral conscience, the human person
perceives the moral quality of an act to be
done or which has already been done,
permitting him to assume responsibility for
the act. When attentive to moral
conscience, the prudent person can hear
the voice of God who speaks to him or
her.

THE TEMPLE & WORSHIP
In all of today’s readings, the temple is prominently mentioned. Ezekiel speaks of
streams of living water flowing out from the temple, watering the desert, bringing
life to all living things, offering fresh healing to God’s people. Paul reminds the
Corinthians that their faith rests upon the firmest of foundations, Christ himself.
More than that, Paul reveals that those who follow Christ are themselves temples,
temples of the Holy Spirit; that is, God dwells not only with them, but in them.
For the Jews of Jesus’ time, the temple had come to be identified with the
presence of God and the only place where authentic worship of God took place.
Jesus had a different perception. Jesus identified himself not with the temple, but
as the temple. In so doing, Jesus indicated a dramatic shift in what it means to
worship God, to be in God’s presence. No longer was a place to be the focus of
prayer. Instead, a person, the person of Jesus Christ, becomes the center of our
worship. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM
OUR TRADITION
For several weeks, we have
considered penance as a sacrament
of forgiveness, and yet there are
two other sacraments in this
category. The first, of course, is the
Eucharist itself. The other is the
sacrament of the sick, long
associated with penance.
The Letter of James sets out the
deep tradition for caring for the
sick: sending for the priests, who
will pray and lay their hands on
the sick ones, anointing them with
oil, and giving them forgiveness.
Long before other rites of penance
developed, the sacrament of the
sick was therefore a profound
experience of forgiveness. Jesus
often healed the sick, nearly
always as a visible sign of
forgiveness of sin. The tradition
didn't unfold smoothly, however,
and within a few centuries the oil
of the sick was taken home to be
applied by caregivers as a salve, or
even to be drunk as a medicine. As
early as the second century,
bishops were therefore urging that
priests should be the ones to visit
those separated by illness from the
Sunday assembly. Thus the practice
of consigning the Eucharist and the
oil of the sick to the non-ordained
faithful to bring home was
relatively short-lived.
