Conscience is that secret sanctuary in which we are alone with God
and hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to us in the depths of our heart.
To violate that conscience, that is, to go against what we know to be true,
is to deny ourselves what is most important to our salvation.
A good conscience is the greatest good thing we can possess in this life.
It gives us peace, serenity, and an assurance of our perseverance.
