Conscience, the voice of God

[Mary Naeem]

Conscience, the voice of God

Do what your conscience dictates. Your con- science may be unclean, blind even, but there is a voice in there, a little voice, the voice of God. Anyone may hear the voice of God and through this voice, in a way, act as his conscience commands. In this man- ner, conscience gets cleansed more and more and the voice of God becomes clearer and brighter. On the other hand, avoid passions through prayer –how else?– and give yourself to God. All can be found in prayer: faith, repentance, humility, love towards God, and renouncement of ourselves.
