Serie Cuaresmal: El Examen de Consciencia
“Una vida sin examen no merece la pena ser vivida” es una frase atribuida al filósofo griego Sócrates descrito en la obra Apología de Sócrates escrita en el año 399 a. C. por su discípulo Platón. Platón transcribió en la Apología de Sócrates los diálogos que Sócrates sostuvo ante el tribunal de Atenas en la cual fue sentenciado a muerte por liberar a los jóvenes atenienses de la ignorancia con sus enseñanzas. “Una vida sin examen no merece la pena ser vivida” es la conclusión que Sócrates usa para justificar sus métodos de enseñanza que apelan por sobre todo a la importancia de examinarse a sí mismo y a los demás para mantener una actitud crítica sobre nuestros actos y sobre nuestras vidas con el fin último de evolucionar para ser la mejor persona que podemos ser.

And, that is a fulfillment of the request that Our Lady made at Fatima for the consecration of Russia and for world peace.”
