St Ambrose spitting some truth here about the conscience.
Have you recently done something you knew was wrong,
or failed to do something that you knew you needed to get
done? How did that feel? Were you ashamed? Have you
tried to punish yourself in any way? Our conscience
condemns us when we sin, either by commission (that
which we do, but ought not), and omission (that which
we ought do, but do not), this is natural. We run for
cover, or we stand and beat ourselves up for whatever
it was, unless we have deadened ourselves through
callous, repeated sin patterns so we no longer hear our
consciences. Tell me I’m not the only one who either
hides or self-abuses in some way when I know that I
screwed up. So what do we do about it? We seek
forgiveness from God, the injured party, and from
ourselves. We repent, then allow that sin to be as
though it never happened. That is not to say that
consequences cease to exist, but forgiveness is
the path to freedom for you and for the other person, particularly.
