Examination of conscience on civility

Examination of Conscience: Loving Our Neighbors in the Public Square Pope Francis reminds us that in the Gospel of Matthew we are called to be “salt of the earth and light of the world.” “Although there are many reasons to be discouraged, amid many prophets of destruction and condemnation, and so many negative and despairing voices, may you be a positive force, salt and light for this society. Like the engine of a train, may you be the driving force leading all towards their destination. May you be sowers of hope, builders of bridges and agents of dialogue and harmony.” - Pope Francis, Message during Apostolic Journey, April 29, 2017
