The healthy habit of self-reproach

How do you reproach yourself?  Very simply.  The conscience immediately speaks out, it immediately censures us, and we have only to agree that we acted wrongly and humbly turn to God with a prayer for forgiveness.  Even if only for a minute, you must absolutely reproach yourself in this way.  Our job is to reproach ourselves, even if it is just for a brief time and the rest is up to God.
