A sensitive conscience as a sign of growthAs one grows spiritually, the conscience becomes more sensitive to even small sins, much like a weighing machine that begins to react to tiny weights.

The necessity of reconciliation before prayerIf your conscience reveals that you have hurt someone, you must leave your offering and seek reconciliation because unresolved conflict blocks your prayers.
