Most cradle Catholics were taught to use the Ten Commandments for an examination of conscience. But I think a better route for adults is to use foundational Scripture passages, such as today's readings. Haven't we all cried out, "God is unfair," only to realize that we, not God, have to change? Christ, the Divine Second Person, voluntarily and humbly becomes a slave to the will of his Father. Do we obey the will of God, as we discern it? And Jesus says words can be empty. He channels the Nike commercial, "Just do it, for the reign of God."
