This lecture explores the meaning of conscience as the interior space where moral truth becomes personally binding. Drawing from Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, Vatican II, and contemporary moral theology, it explains how conscience is formed, how it guides moral decision-making, and how it operates in real-life situations of responsibility and discernment. The session emphasizes the relationship between freedom and truth, personal judgment and Church guidance, and prepares students to apply moral principles through prudent discernment in complex human experiences.
